What is the ruling of gifting 2 nafila prayers to the ahlul bayt (A.S), what should be the intention?

Secondly, what if I cannot continue this act in near future, will I be punished for it?

Make the intention when starting the nafl salat to gift the reward of that salat to whichever of the masumeen (as) you want.

This is a mustahab act and no punishment if you do not do it, unless you made a oath or vow by Allahs name to do it then abandoned it

I've come out as a Shia to my family and they loathe that I am one. Each time I mention that I am or I hint at it. My family yells and curses at me. They say that God never said to make sects and that I am misguided. They say that the practices I follow is full of "bidah". My mother has threatened to never speak with me as well.

I will never revert back as I know the truth and Allah has guided me towards such truth despite these threats.

What advice do you have for the Shia with family members that are not understanding? What about the claim that the Prophet never created sects?

The term Shia literally means follower. It is a term that Allah used in the Quran to refer to the followers of his Prophets. An example was Prophet Abraham (as) who was mentioned in the Quran specifically as the shia of Noah (as):

"And most surely Abraham was among the Shia of him (Noah)" (Quran 37:83)

Imam Ali (as) said “Allah has favored the word Shia by using it in the Holy Quran. Then verily He says ‘And verily Ibrahim was one of the shia of Noah.’ And you are amongst the shia of Muhammad (sawa). This name is neither restricted to a particular group nor is it a newly adopted religion.”

In another verse, the Quran talks about the Shia of Moses

"And he (Moses) went into the city at a time when people (of the city) were not watching, so he found therein two men fighting, one being of his shia and the other being his enemy, and the one who was of his shia cried out to him for help against the one who was of his enemy" (Quran 28:15)

Thus shia is an official word used by Allah in His Quran for His high ranking prophets as well as their followers. This is also a term that our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sawa) used for those who had love for Ali (as) and followed him as the successor after the Prophet (sawa).

The Messenger of Allah said to Ali: "Glad tidings O Ali! Verily you, your companions and your Shia (followers) will be in Paradise."

A more complete version of the tradition, which has also been reported by Sunni narrators, is as follows:

Ibn Abbas narrated: When the verse "Those who believe and do righteous deeds are the best of the creation (Quran 98:7)" was revealed, the Messenger of Allah (sawa) said to Ali: "They are you and your Shia." He continued: "O Ali! (On the day of Judgment) you and your Shia will come toward Allah well pleased and well pleasing, and your enemies will come angry with their heads forced up.” Ali (as) said: "Who are my enemies?" The Prophet (sawa) replied: "He who disassociates himself from you and curses you. And glad tiding to those who reach first under the shadow of al-'Arsh on the day of resurrection." Ali asked: "Who are they, O the Messenger of Allah?" He replied: "Your Shia, O Ali, and those who love you."

I acknowledge that masturbation is considered a sin in Islam generally and under normal circumstances. However, what should a man do if he experiences libido but not towards women (or men for that matter). Since I lack sexual desire for women, having a relationship with women could potentially falter due to lack of attraction, thus not having a capability to initiate a sexual relationship with someone due to disappointment from the other partner.

What should one do in this case regarding their sexual desire but cannot get into a sexual relationship with a potential wife because of lack of attraction?

Would I never have the opportunity to release my 'sexual tension' since there is no feasible halal outlet for me due to the lack of the yearning for a sexual relationship with a woman?

I completely understand that in Islam, if one is capable of having a sexual relationship with a woman. Masturbation is prohibited. But what about people that cannot relase their sexual tension because they have no ability to form a sexual relationship due to lack of attraction?

Would it be permissible for these people to masturbate (as long as it does not become a habit) as they do not have no other outlet for this 'release' of sexual tension?

Do give me the absolute truty regarding this. I did speak to a scholar regarding this, but I did not reveal details such as the potential disappoint from partners and the lacking of sexual attraction.

May Allah guide us to the truth inshallah.

Masturbation is forbidden and for the one who has no wife the semen will eventually release from your body naturally via nocturnal dream.
