Is it permissible for a woman to give from her zakah to her husband and her child if he has debts?
Yes, it is permissible for a wife to give from her zakah to pay off her husband's debt, and it is permissible for a person to give from his zakah to pay off his child's debt, except if the child borrowed for the purpose of maintenance and the father is wealthy, then it is not permissible to pay off his debt from his zakah; because he is obligated to provide for him.So if we said: It is permissible to give him from your zakah, [so] that he is not demanded maintenance in order to give him from the zakah.
