Health problems

Q: I have a very serious question regarding my personal life and I hope I will get a favourable answer in the light of Qur'an and hadith. I am 44 years of age and I have a beautiful young wife and 3 children aged 15 10 and 6. I had a spinal injury and an operation in the neck for this problem. I can't get an erection anymore and I am taking medicines for nerve pain and depression. The doctors can't help me anymore in regards to getting erections for sex. Now my question is can I use the strap on penis to satisfy myself as I love sex.

A: This is unnatural. You may let your wife know that you cannot satisfy her any longer and what would she prefer; if she prefers remaining in the marriage as you are or separating.

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