The Ruling on Paying Zakat to Quran Memorization Centers

Question
Is it permissible to allocate zakat to Quran memorization centers?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible to give it except to the poor, and it is not permissible for the centers unless they give it to poor students or it is in lieu of fees owed by them after they are informed of this and agree to it, and God knows best.
