The answer

This vow is invalid and must not be fulfilled, because refraining from food and drink is self-torture that Allah does not approve of. And even if the intention behind the continuous fasting (wisal) was to draw closer to Allah, it is still disliked (makruh), and a vow of something disliked does not necessitate its fulfillment. Moreover, masturbation must be abandoned because it is forbidden in Islamic law.
