The Ruling on Giving Zakat for the Treatment of a Brother

Question
Is it permissible to give zakat to a brother for the treatment of his wife?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to give zakat to a brother unconditionally if he is poor, and you will have the reward of maintaining family ties and the reward of zakat. And God knows best.
