The Ruling on Paying Zakat to Offspring

Question
Is it permissible to give Zakat to children if one of them is in debt and the other is of marriageable age but does not have money?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible to give zakat (charity) to children under any circumstances, whether they are in debt or want to get married. And God knows best.
