The answer

Masturbation is forbidden, and is a month of worship, not a month of sin and disobedience. The fast of the following day is valid if masturbation occurred at night, but one must perform (ritual bath) for prayer, and it is not permissible to delay it or to pray in a state of (ritual impurity), as both are forbidden. The fast of Arafah expiates the sins of two years, and good deeds remove evil deeds. What is obligatory is sincere repentance and not returning to the sin.
