Is The Money Spent For The Poor To Have Them Circumcized Or Married Substitute For Zakat?

Is the money spent for the poor to have them circumcized or married substitute for zakat?

One of the groups to give zakat is the poor (Tawbah, 9/60). A person may pay zakat the same kind as goods at hand, or with other goods of the same value, or in cash. In this regard, zakat may be given to a person soon to be married as goods they need if that person is eligible for receiving zakat. The circumcision expenses of a child whose family is poor may be covered with the intention of zakat as well. However, it is more appropriate to give zakat to the needy and let them spend it themselves.
