Intercourse in the Anus for a Reason

Question
A questioner asks: His wife is sick and has a problem in the vagina, and it has been a long time. Is it permissible for the husband to have intercourse with her in the anus so that he does not resort to masturbation? He is newly married.
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Anal intercourse is absolutely forbidden, and one can follow other lawful ways to satisfy their desires, and God knows best.
