The Agent Taking from Zakat

Question
A woman wants to send her zakat to Syria for her sisters to distribute it there. Is it permissible for the sisters to take from it?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The agent in distributing zakat is not permitted to take from the zakat money except with the permission of the one giving zakat, and it is also a condition that he be poor with the permission, and God knows best.
