ANSWER:

This is your husband’s money and it’s not permissible for you to give it to anyone without his permission. If he permits you to give it to the poor and your brother falls under this category, you may do so.

My husband sets aside 5% of his income on monthly basis with the intention of charity. Can I use this money to offset debts and bearing other daily expenses of my brother or there is any specific category of people who deserve this charity?
