The Ruling on Giving Zakat to Descendants

Question
Is it permissible to give zakat to an adult married son?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: It is not permissible to give zakat to parents or children, even if they are married, but it can be given to the wife, and she can dispose of it as she wishes because it belongs to her. And God knows best.
