The Shaykh : And this principle has many branches, among which is what the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) mentioned: if a man gives his zakah to a person he believes to be among those entitled to zakah, but it turns out that the person is wealthy and not among those entitled to zakah, then his zakah is sufficient and is accepted, thereby clearing his conscience, because he intended to give it to one who is entitled to it. So if he intended it, he has his intention.
And among them is: if a person endows something, intending to endow a small house, but says, "I have endowed my such-and-such house," and points to the large one, but this is contrary to what is in his heart, then it is according to what he intended, not according to what his tongue preceded with.
And among them is also: if a person who is ignorant and does not know the difference between 'Umrah and Hajj performs Hajj with the people and says, "Labbaik Hajjan" (Here I am for Hajj), while he intends 'Umrah to be followed by Hajj in the state of tamattu', then he has what he intended, as long as his purpose is that he wants 'Umrah, but he said, "Labbaik Hajjan" with these people, then he has what he intended, and his tongue preceding him with something does not harm him.
And among them is also: if a man says to his wife, "You are divorced," and he intends that she is divorced from a bond, not from the marriage, then he has what he intended, and his wife is not thereby divorced. The important thing is that this hadith has many benefits and branches spread throughout the chapters of Islamic jurisprudence.
And among the benefits of this hadith is that it is permissible for a person to give charity to his son, and that is indeed the case, meaning that it is permissible for a person to give charity to his son. The evidence for this is what is in the hadith of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) when he said to his wife, who wanted to give charity, he said to her:"Your husband and your child are the most deserving of those you give charity to."And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded charity and encouraged it, so Zaynab, the wife of Ibn Mas'ud, wanted to give charity with some of her wealth, so her husband said to her:Sahih al-Bukhari 1462 because he was poor (may Allah be pleased with him), so she said: .
And among them is also: it is permissible for a person to give his child from the zakah, on the condition that this does not result in dropping an obligation upon him. For example, if a person has zakah and wants to give it to his son in order not to be asked for his maintenance, then this is not sufficient, because he intended by giving it to him to drop his obligation of maintenance. However, if he gives it to him to pay off a debt he had, such as if the son has an accident and his father gives him from the zakah what settles this liability, then there is no harm in that, and it is sufficient for him from the zakah, because his child is the closest person to him, and he is not now intending by this to drop an obligation upon him, but rather he intends by this to clear his child's conscience, not to maintain him. If this is his purpose, then the zakah is lawful for him, and Allah grants success.

Your husband and your children had more right to it than anybody else
أنا وولدك أحق من تصدقت عليهNo, until I ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So she asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "Abdullah has spoken the truth. Your husband and your child are the most deserving of whom you give charity."
لا ، حتى أسأل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فسألت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال : صدق عبد الله ، زوجك وولدك أحق من تصدقت عليهAnd among them is also: it is permissible for a person to give his child from the zakah, on the condition that this does not result in dropping an obligation upon him.
