Giving Fidyah and Zakat al-Fitr to Children and Grandchildren

Question
A person wants to give his married daughter, whose husband is in prison and she only receives 50 dinars from social services, Zakat al-Fitr and Fidyah. Is this permissible?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Giving someone their Zakat al-Fitr and its equivalent for their branches, whether it is for their own dependents or for the dependents of others, is not permissible. They must assist them from their own wealth, and God knows best.
