Masturbation is forbidden (haram). The emission of semen, regardless of the method, is an indication of puberty and accountability, and ghusl (ritual bath) becomes obligatory after its emission. As for repentance from masturbation, it is achieved by refraining from the act, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it.
