Am I allowed to give Zakat to my husband’s mother ?

Fatawa Question

My husband’s family live abroad, they are not well off at all and his mother needs cancer medicine. I think his father would have savings above the Nisab (and not be eligible for Zakat) but his mother on her own doesn’t have her own savings, would it be permissible to give my Zakat directly to her ?
