Distribution of Zakah to relatives and to non-Muslims : money given to christian relatives : is it counted as Zakah

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, My wife was Christian, now AlhamduLilah is Muslim. Her family is still christian living overseas but relatively poor. Now they're children going to college and my wife sends them good financial help for college. Does that count as Zakah for my Muslim wife to send needed money to her Christian family ? JAK Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help
