Is it permissible for a mother to distribute the saved money, which a hawl (full lunar year) has passed over, among her daughters only, and is zakat obligatory on it after its distribution, if that is permissible?

If a mother divides her money among her children before a full year has passed, she is not obligated to pay on it. Zakat becomes obligatory only upon the one who possesses it, if it reaches the (minimum threshold) and a full year has passed since the time of possession. If she divides it after the year has passed, then she is obligated to pay its zakat.
