Question:
Is it permissible for me to give my zakah to my sister, who has no income except from some of her sons who work, and whose husband has a pension?
Answer:
If she has a husband and children who have an income, zakah is not permissible for her. Her husband and children must provide for her, so she does not need zakah. Zakah is given to a person who has no income, no children to provide for him, and no husband to provide for him.
