Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for me to pay my zakat on wealth to one person, by giving my zakah to a single individual?
Answer:
If he needs it, and his need is for the whole amount, there is no objection. But if it exceeds his need, no; give him the amount he needs, and give the rest to another person in need.
