The answer

(ritual bath) becomes obligatory with masturbation if semen is discharged. If semen is discharged due to masturbation, then the prayers performed without purification from the age of puberty until repentance must be made up. It should be noted that the ghusl for menstruation also purifies from (state of ritual impurity). The number of missed prayers is determined through (independent reasoning) and investigation for those who cannot recall them with certainty. As for the manner of making them up, it involves performing the missed prayers immediately while observing their proper sequence. Making up these prayers must take precedence over any other activity, with the exception of the five obligatory prayers and the rights of others. Making up at least two days' worth of prayers daily is the minimum, unless it would affect the provision of sustenance.
