The Ruling on Giving Zakat Money to the Poor Without Informing Them That It Is Zakat

Question
What is the ruling on transferring zakat money to a poor person's account without their knowledge of where this money came from?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: it is permissible and it is not a condition to inform him that it is zakat money, and God knows best.
