Masturbation

Q: I want to know the ruling on masturbation. Im 28 and my family does not understand that I have tried to control my sex desire bt now its out of control. I have done fasting, done all zikr, bt now I am in very much pain. Please tell me can I masturbate under such circumstances?

A: Try your best to get married.

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