The Ruling on Giving Zakat to Those Whose Lineage is Proven to the Family of the Messenger (peace be upon him)

Question
What is the ruling on giving zakat to those whose lineage is proven to the family of the Messenger (peace be upon him)?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The fatwa has settled on the permissibility of giving to the Ahl al-Bayt if they are poor; due to the lack of someone to support them, and God knows best.
