Question
What is the ruling on masturbation? Could you give me an answer based on the Sunni schools of thought as well as Salafi/Ahl-e Hadith scholars?
Answer
Dear questioner, thank you kindly for your important question.
Masturbation is forbidden.
The four Sunni schools of thought and the prominent Salafi/Ahl-e Hadith scholars agree on this.

Masturbation and Its Effect upon Worship – Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih Al-‘Uthaymeen
If after reaching orgasm there is any mucus that comes out of your private parts, then you will have to make ghusl. You do that by washing your whole body, mouth, and nose with water. [Mukhtasar al-Quduri]
I don’t think you will find any Salafis/Ahl-e Hadith saying otherwise.
