The Mother Giving Zakat al-Fitr on Behalf of Her Children

Question
Is it permissible for a mother to give Zakat al-Fitr on behalf of her husband and children if her husband is poor?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: She is not required to give from her children or her husband, but if she does give, she will earn the reward of charity. It is not obligatory on the husband and children if they are poor and do not possess the minimum amount, which is (100) grams of gold, and God knows best.
