IRSYAD HUKUM SIRI KE- 317 : ONANI BERKALI-KALI, PERLUKAH MANDI JUNUB JUGA BERULANG KALI ?
If a person masturbates or has marital intercourse several times in one period, must he perform the obligatory bath repeatedly or is a single bath enough?
Short answer
A single obligatory bath is sufficient for major impurity that occurs repeatedly before the person bathes, whether through lawful intercourse, adultery, masturbation or a wet dream, based on the consensus reported by Imam al-Nawawi.

Summary
A single obligatory bath is sufficient for major impurity that occurs repeatedly before the person bathes, whether through lawful intercourse, adultery, masturbation or a wet dream, based on the consensus reported by Imam al-Nawawi. That one bath does not cover impurity occurring after he has already bathed, since a fresh occurrence requires another bath. Repeated minor impurities, whether of the same or different kinds, likewise require only one ablution. The ruling also states that masturbation is generally forbidden, and those unable to marry are advised to fast and lower their gaze.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Begitu juga seseorang yang berjunub dengan junub yang sama seperti keluar air mani berkali-kali sama ada melalui cara yang halal seperti hubungan seks antara suami isteri, atau dengan cara yang haram seperti berzina atau beronani, maka yang wajibnya adalah sekali mandi sahaja.
