Zakat al-Fitr on behalf of a poor wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the wife is poor, is it obligatory for the husband to pay on her behalf?

Answer:
If she is poor, or if she is not poor, there is scholarly disagreement. He pays on behalf of himself and his children, because she is under his care. He pays on her behalf and on behalf of his children.
