A: It is impermissible for one to derive sexual pleasure from one’s body e.g. masturbation. One should sincerely repent to Allah Ta’ala and make a firm resolve never to return to this in the future. Refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/706 and http://muftionline.co.za/node/4685

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
