A mother's to her son is not valid if he does not accept it, because in this case, the Zakat does not enter into his possession. However, if the mother pays her Zakat to settle her son's debts, it is valid, provided that the debt was incurred for a permissible matter. The questioner must be dutiful to his mother and avoid anything that harms her.
