Distributing Zakah to persons under debts : forsaking debts as a Zakah payment

السؤال

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, I have two pious cousins (they are brothers) to whom I lent 2 lakh Indian rupees two years ago. Their intention was to repay the debt as soon as circumstances turned in their favour. Unfortunately today they are not in a good position to repay the debt. They have taken Zakah from other relatives. Besides, presently I am in need of the money myself. Can I forgive the debt and account the amount of 2 lakh rupees as Zakah ? Please do pray for them so that Allah may improve their situation. Thank you for your help and time. Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help
