He/she must be a Muslim who does not posses the minimum Nisaab.

Not ususally because a son-in-law is legally responsible (Islamically) for supporting his mother-in-law. Zakat can only be given to family members if the entire family is destitute.
Any sane male and female who is eligible to pay zakat must perform the duty of qurbani.
According to two judgments of the Lahore High Court Lahore, Gratuity Fund itself is not liable to zakat. However, when payment is made to its members, it will deduct zakat if the payee is sahib-e- nisab.
Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is obligatory for all eligible Muslims to give a portion of their wealth to those in need. Sadaqah, on the other hand, is voluntary charity that can be given at any time and in any amount. While Zakat has specific rules and conditions, Sadaqah can be given freely to support various charitable causes.
Giving Zakat distributes wealth among all the citizens of society. In true spirit it is given to poor people for their living and for them to start some sort of activity through which they can earn their living. In essence it helps bring equality in the society which helps in lesser number of crimes. During the era of Hazrat Umer (R.A), Zakat was properly distributed and a time came that there was no one to accept zakat.
no a wife cant give zakat or money of zakat to her husband under the masarif of zakat.
there are two type of Zakat: obligatory Zakat and Mustahab (recommended Zakat). Recommended Zakat is same as non obligatory donations. Syed can receive non obligatory Zakat from all. but obligatory only from Syed.
