Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 1025/1025/M=1434) It is not lawful to give zakah to a Sayyid. If your khala and khalu are Sayyid you should help them with other funds and if they are not Sayyid then you may give them zakah money. ولا إلى بنى هاشم ... وجازت التطوعات من الصدقات وغلۃ الأوقاف لهم اى لبني هاشم .(در مختار)
