Is it permissible to use Zakat money to pay for the visa and travel ticket expenses of the husband without informing him, given that he is in debt and intends to visit his wife and children in another country?

It is permissible for a woman to give her zakat money to her poor or indebted husband, whether it is to pay off his debt or to cover essential expenses, such as travel to return to his family if his absence has been prolonged or if his presence is important. It is permissible to give him the money directly, and it is not necessary to inform him that it is zakat. As for directly purchasing a ticket and visa, the majority of scholars do not permit it, but some scholars have allowed it for a benefit, such as the fear that the husband might squander the money.
