Can I use zakah money for family expenses if my wife is sahib-e-nisab and I have 2 children?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I am not sahib e nisab. I am receiving zakah money every month. Could I spend that money to my family expenses? My wife is sahib-e-nisab and I have 2 children Please explain whatever.

(Fatwa: 495/440/M=05/1440)

It is lawful for you to take zakah money if you are eligible to receive zakah. After taking zakah you are free whether you spend it on yourself or on your family, there is no harm in it.
