Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is a woman asking, and she says: Is it permissible for a woman to give zakah to her husband?
The Shaykh:
No, because he may spend it on her and return it to her. Yes.
The questioner:
Then she says, may Allah preserve you: If it is not permissible, and she has already given it to him, is it obligatory for her to take it back?
The Shaykh:
If she gave it to him and he used it to pay off a debt, there is nothing wrong with that. But if she gave it to him to spend on the household, no. Yes.
