Paying Zakat to the Husband

Question
Is it permissible for me to pay my Zakat to my husband because he is in debt and cannot repay his debt, and the situation in Syria is bad?
Answer
Answer: I say, and with God's success: It is not permissible to give zakat to the husband due to the shared benefits between the spouses, and the woman should support her husband with her money if he is in distress, and this is part of her good treatment towards him, and it would be a charity from her, not zakat. And God knows best.
