No it is not. If you didn’t know something was haram, it won’t be filed against you. Next time, stay informed.
There is really no mention of masturbation in the Quran but scholars differ over whether its haram or not.
I suppose the scholars who say it is haram quote this as their proof
*Except with their wives and the (women slaves and captives) whom their right hands possess, for (then) they are not to be blamed [ Al-Ma’arij 29&30]
But then again, I don’t think this makes it clear that masturbation is haram and it could refer to actual sex
