May One Give Zakat To His Her Step Mother, Step Father, And Step Children?

May one give zakat to his/her step mother, step father, and step children?

Zakat may be given to one’s step mother, step father and step children if they are poor. Because the giver and recipient do not have an ascendant-descendant relationship and they are not dependants of this person under normal conditions (Ibn, al Humam, II, 275; Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar III, 172, 293).
