Giving to the poor from zakah for marriage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: Remember that she has a salary and is a teacher, and my brother is poor. He graduated from high school and is now in college, and he wants to get married. Should I give him from my zakah?

Answer:
Yes, if he wants to get married and he is poor, he is more deserving of your zakah; because it will be charity and maintaining family ties for you, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes.
