Can an Old Man with Erectile Dysfunction Masturbate to Ease Desire?

Q: An old man is suffering from erectile disfuntion. No medical help works. When with his wife, can he mastubate to ease his desire?

A: It is permissible for the wife to masturbate for the husband. 

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

في الجوهرة الاستمناء حرام  وفيه التعزير ولو مكن امرأته أو أمته من العبث بذكره فأنزل كره ولا شيء عليه

و في رد المحتار : قوله ( كره ) الظاهر أنها كراهة تنزيه لأن ذلك بمنزلة ما لو أنزل بتفخيذ أو تبطين تأمل وقدمنا عن المعراج في باب مفسدات الصوم يجوز أن يستمني بيد زوجته أو خادمته (رد المحتار 4/27)
