Is it sufficient to wipe the inner folds of the ear during ablution with a separate intention from the ritual bath (ghusl), in the event that one forgot to wash them during the ritual bath?
What you mentioned is likely no more than a whisper [of Shaytan], for doubt after completing an act of worship has no effect. As for , the predominance of certainty regarding thoroughness is sufficient.
If you are certain that you did not wash your ears during ghusl, then merely wiping them during wudu is not sufficient. You must wash them with a new intention, and you are not required to repeat the ghusl due to the absence of the obligation of muwalat (succession) according to the majority of scholars.
Regarding the prayers you performed with an incomplete ghusl, the majority of scholars obligate their repetition, while Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah does not obligate it.
