Masturbation is forbidden and is a harmful, wicked habit. As long as your wife is patient and content to stay with you, there is no sin upon you in keeping her. You are advised to seek treatment and not despair, for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Seek medical treatment, for Allah Almighty has not created a disease without creating a cure for it, except for one disease: old age."
