Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 958/746/D=1434) If your bahnoi (husband of your sister) is poor and eligible for zakah i.e. he does not own gold, silver, cash, or unnecessary goods (that are not used in daily life) equal to nisab which is 612 gram silver price then he shall be considered poor and eligible to receive zakah. You may give him zakah money for medicine.
