Obligating the Poor to Act in a Certain Way with Zakat Money

Question
I want to give zakat to my brother, and I condition him to do something specific with the money. Is this permissible?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Zakat is permissible for a brother, and you will have two rewards: the reward of charity and the reward of kinship. You can request a specific action with it, and God knows best.
