The ruling on a woman giving zakah to her husband

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Did you produce the hadith of Zaynab regarding the permissibility of a woman giving zakah to her husband?

Answer:
This is voluntary charity, but the issue of the husband receiving this charity is a matter of scholarly disagreement. The stronger view is that it is permissible, so there is no harm. As for the obligation, no. If this is the hadith, then the charity is voluntary, correct?
