Paying Zakat to a Poor Husband

Question
Is it permissible for a woman to give her Zakat or Zakat on her gold to her husband if he is poor and in need while she is wealthy and capable?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is not permissible to give zakat to her poor husband; due to the connection of benefits between them, and God knows best.
