Masturbation (self-abuse) is forbidden, and it has religious and health harms. Sincere repentance from it is obligatory, and Allah accepts the repentance of the sincere. It is advised to hasten to marriage and not delay it for the sake of studies, as masturbation may affect the hymen and weaken sexual desire. One can refer to related fatwas for more information.
