Intention is a pillar of from (ritual impurity) according to the majority of scholars. So, if you intended purification from the janabah that resulted from masturbation, your ghusl is valid and sufficient. Al-Nawawi stated that one should intend ghusl from janabah or to permit what is not permitted except by ghusl. You must repent to Allah from masturbation, as it is forbidden and has harms.
