The answer

If the money is fully owned by your mother, has reached the nisab (minimum threshold), and a full year (hawl) has passed on it, then she must pay zakat (2.5% of the money). Your father cannot prevent her from doing so, and she is not obliged to inform him of it, as his knowledge is not a condition for zakat to be obligatory or for its payment to be valid.
