Giving Zakat to Descendants

Question
Is it permissible to give zakat to the grandchildren who are studying at university?
Answer
I say, and with Allah's success: It is not permissible to give zakat to the sons of the son, as they are considered branches, and the maintenance of branches is obligatory on the roots, for the completeness of benefit among them, and Allah knows best.
