The answer

Unlawfully discharging one's desires, including through masturbation, is an transgression against Allah's command and the limits of His law, as stated in the Almighty's words: (And those who guard their private parts Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed – But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors). As for a vow of obstinacy and anger, its maker is given the choice between fulfilling what he committed to (fasting) or performing an expiation for breaking an oath.
