Is it permissible for a wife to give her zakah to her husband if he is poor?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : A wife may give her zakah to her husband if he is poor. This is because a wife is not required to provide for her husband in all circumstances, and the fact that she gives to him and he then returns the benefit to her is not harmful, because she will demand that her husband provide for her.
