There is no blame upon you for what you did by following the of the aforementioned shaykh, and nothing is required of you, Allah willing. One who intends to travel from Mecca before completing the rites of Hajj is not obligated to perform the farewell circumambulation ( al-Wada'). As long as you returned and performed the circumambulation of overflowing (Tawaf al-Ifadah), your ritual (nusuk) is complete. As for your masturbation before the second partial release from consecration (Tahallul al-Thani), it is forbidden (), and it requires an expiatory offering () along with sincere repentance ( nasuh).
