Zakat may be given to stepmothers, stepfathers, and stepchildren if they are poor. This is because there is no direct lineal (usul or furu) relationship between the zakat giver and these individuals, and the giver is not normally obligated to provide for them. (Ibn al-Humam, Fath al-Qadir, 2/270; Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, 2/346)
