Paying Zakah to the Brothers One Supports

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, my father passed away and I am the one supporting my brothers. Is it permissible for me to give them from my zakah?

Answer:
As long as you are spending on them and providing for their needs, no, it is not permissible to give to them. But if they are isolated in their own home and in need, there is no harm in giving to them. Yes.
