ولا يؤدي عن زوجته
Translation: He is not required to pay fitrah on behalf of his wife.
The clause means that the husband is not automatically legally responsible for his wife’s fitrah. Her own liability is assessed separately if she meets its conditions.
It does not establish that a husband can never pay on her behalf with appropriate authorisation. The text identifies obligatory responsibility, not every permissible arrangement of agency.
