Paying Zakah in Monthly Installments to the Poor

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it permissible to pay the zakah to the poor person in monthly installments? Because he does not manage his affairs well; if I were to give it to him all at once, he would spend it on things that do not benefit him?

Answer:
If this is for a valid purpose, as you mentioned, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
