The husband paying the zakah of his wife's wealth

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Welcome to you.

Answer:
If a woman has wealth that is subject to zakah, and her husband pays the zakah on her behalf, this is valid if she gives him permission or appoints him to do so. This is because paying zakah is an act of worship that requires intention. It requires intention, so she must appoint him to do it so that her intention is present at the time of the appointment. Yes.
