ANSWER:

You can give your zakat to any Poor or needy Muslims, preference is for the relatives. 

If you don’t have any poor relatives, you can give it to any other poor or needy Muslim. 

 

Though I’m aware that it is the obligation of a muslim to pay zakah to his/her relatives first but nowadays I find my relatives in better condition than the conditions of muslimsbrothers and sisters who are oppressed or homeless. Can I distribute some of the portion of my zakah among them?
