Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I married a woman, and she has young poor children who live with their mother in my house,

I married a woman, and she has young poor children.
The Shaykh:
Poor.
The questioner:
They live with their mother in my house. Is it permissible for me to give her children from my zakah?
The Shaykh:
No, as long as you are providing for their maintenance, they are self-sufficient, and zakah is not permissible for them. You are spending on them, so how can you give them zakah? Yes.
