The question

Is it permissible for a girl who masturbates to perform tayammum for prayer instead of ghusl to avoid her secret being exposed, or should she remain without prayer, knowing the prohibition of masturbation and the gravity of the sin of abandoning prayer?

The answer

A girl's statement that she cannot stop masturbating is a response to the seduction of Satan. She must repent and cut off the snares of Satan, for she is in grave danger. Masturbation is forbidden, and (ritual bath) is not required from it unless semen is discharged. A woman must fear Allah and perform ghusl if discharge occurs. (dry ablution) is not sufficient as long as water is available and its use does not cause harm. Modesty does not permit abandoning ghusl and resorting to tayammum, and abandoning prayer is a grave sin.
