Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
It is not forbidden to burn semen itself, as there is no prohibition against destroying semen (as in the use of condoms or withdrawal). Therefore, you have no sin in this regard; rather, the sin lies in the act of forbidden masturbation that you committed.
Refer to the following question for guidance on stopping this bad habit:
Repentance from Practicing Masturbation
May you be successful in all good.
