There is no objection to giving a wife's sister from if she is poor and has no provider. Zakat for her is better than for others because it is both charity () and maintaining family ties (silah). It must be noted that her sister's husband is not a to her, so it is not permissible for her to uncover before him or to be in seclusion with him.
