The Ruling on Giving One's Wife from the Zakah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person asks: Is it permissible for me to give my wife from the zakah? One of the sisters asks, saying: Is it permissible for me to give my husband from the zakah?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, provided the intention is not to give him her zakah so that he spends it on her. If her husband is poor, there is nothing wrong with her giving him from the zakah, as long as she does not stipulate or expect him to spend it on her. Yes.
