Is it permissible for a wife to spend from zakat funds on the education and clothing of her children if her husband's income is insufficient to cover their expenses, while giving the remainder of the zakat to those who are eligible?

A woman paying Zakat on her wealth to her children is not permissible, because it results in safeguarding her own money, as if she paid it to herself. However, it is permissible for her to pay her Zakat to her husband, according to the preponderant opinion, if he is unable to provide for the family, because he is considered poor. If the husband spends from the Zakat money on some household needs, it is disliked for the woman to benefit from it.
