The answer

al-Fitr is obligatory upon the family's provider (the head of the household), who must pay it on behalf of himself and those he supports. If he is unable to do so, he must make it up later. If the wife is capable of paying Zakat al-Fitr for herself, she should take the initiative to do so. If she can only afford to pay for herself, then that is all that is required of her. If the wife is able to obtain authorization from her husband to pay the Zakat and finds the means to do so at home, it is permissible for her to pay Zakat al-Fitr on behalf of her husband and those he supports.
