Preliminaries of Intercourse for the Husband Who is Breaking the Fast

Question
A man is sick and the doctor has required him to break his fast during Ramadan, and his wife is fasting. Is it permissible for his fasting wife in this case to assist her husband in masturbation if he desires it?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: masturbation is forbidden in the absence of necessity except for a bachelor to relieve his desire if he has lust, and God knows best.
