Do I need to perform Ghusl-e-Janabat if I consistently notice a minimal amount of semen after urinating and Istibra, that also leads to a feeling of weakness in my body?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you are sure that the fluid is a semen then Ghusle Janabat is obligatory but some white fluid can come out after urinating which looks like semen but it is not semen but called Wathi وذي , it does not need Ghusle Janabat.

If I didn't know masturbation invalidates fasts, and didn't know what Ghusl Janabah was at a young age, must I repeat prayers and fasting? I don't know for sure this happened during Ramadan, as it was a couple years ago. What should I do?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you did not know that masturbation invalidates the fast and you committed masturbation during the days of the month of Ramadan there is no Kaffara on you but Qadha of the fast of that day. If you did not know that Ghusl of Janabah is compulsory for a valid fasting you need to keep Qadha (Qaza) for every day of fasting which you are sure that you were in the state of janabat. Wassalam.
Is it permissible to recite Ayat ul Kursi without performing Ghusl? Are there any other Surahs that can be recited in this state?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes, it is permissible to recite Ayatul Kursi without performing Ghusl. All Quranic Suraj's can be recited during impurity state except the four verses of obligatory Sojood. (In Al-Alaq, Al-Najm, Al-Sajda and Fussilat).

Mateen Charbonneau
