Giving Zakah to poor and needy : paying Zakah to a family whose income is not sufficient to pay school fees of their daughter

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, Thank u for accepting my question. A couple in my family with two children, both work, but their salary pays home mortgage, utilities, daily expenses but no saving, they owed credit cards companies. From this September 2006 they want to register their 13 year daughter in ISNA Islamic school, the monthly fees is about 450.00 $ which they can’t afford but still they insist to be in an Islamic school. My question can I pay them some of the yearly fees from the yearly Zakah Amwal and or advise them to try with the school board to reduce the monthly fees, which I doubt they will accept jazakum. Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help
