The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
A person can give zakah to all of his poor relatives except his descendants and ancestors. That is, a person cannot give zakah to his parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He can give zakah to his brothers and sisters if they are poor.
Fitrah is like zakah; it can be given to the same people.
