[Zakah money]

Fatawa Question

Assalamualaikum brother, I have couple question about Zakah, hope to get some answer in reference to hadith and Quran that release me from my stress. I have an aunt, her husband died few years ago, did not left her much to survive except a house (in their village) and few land, which was under bank loan. Last year we few of our cousin helped her to get some of the land back. Her son does not contribute anything to the family and she has an unmarried daughter. She is leaving her life by renting portion her house (rent very low since it is not in city) and selling her lands, which she will run out soon. We help whenever we can. We never gave her Zakah money since she won some property. Is this evaluation right or is she rightfully eligible to Zakah money. My second question is if someone helps me to distribute my Zakah money, is it permissible for the person to use portion of the Zakah for his travel expenses. If the traveling is just for give the money to appropriate person. Thank you and may Allah bless you for your good deed. Mohammad Reza.
