As per traditional Vedic Astrology, Saturn being combust is not given much importance, as it is not a natural benefic and never considered for auspisicious events.
Only Natural Benefics like Jupiter, Venus, Moon are considered and they should not be combust while planning a Muhurtha. If transiting through evil sign, during combustion, Saturn becomes more harsh and creats troubles at work, health and family.
For example : Saturn transiting 8th house for Taurus Moon Sign and Ascendant is dangerous when it is combust and conjunct other planets.
If you are undergoing Saturn Mahadasa or Antardasa, or if Saturn is one of the Ruling planets at birth time (Being born with Moon in Pushyami, Anuradha, Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatras or born with Moon in Capricorn/Makara Rasi or Lagna, Aquarius/Kumbha Rasi or Lagna, or born on a Saturday), then you will be drawn into unnecessary conflicts and quarrels, spouse and children are afflicted and accidents are possible.
Combustion of Saturn will burn the sins attributed to adharma you did in the past life by forcing you to serve elders and father in this life (This is more applicable if born during Saturn Combustion period).
