Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 699/695=D)
If the aforementioned woman is poor and deserves zakah you can give her zakah money, then she can spend it anywhere she likes. But, when you are in doubt about her being poor and deserving zakah, you should be sure of her being poor and deserving before giving her zakah money. If by the help of some people she owned Nisab (prescribed) amount then it will not be allowed to give her zakah.
