Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

1) If your close relatives are not owners of nisab, then it is preferable to give zakat to them. It is not necessary to inform them that it is zakat money being given. In fact, it may be preferable not to inform them since some people may feel ashamed to accept zakat money. The niyah for zakat should be made and you should give the money to your close relatives as hadyah.

هي تمليك المال من فقير مسلم غير هاشمي ، ولا مولاه بشرط قطع المنفعة عن المملك من كل وجه لله……… وأفاد بقوله بشرط أن الدفع إلى أصوله وإن علوا وإلى فروعه ، وإن سفلوا وإلى زوجته وزوجها وإلى مكاتبه ليس بزكاة كما سيأتي مبينا وأشار إلى أن الدفع إلى كل قريب ليس بأصل ولا فرع جائز ، وهو مقيد بما في الولوالجية رجل يعول أخته أو أخاه أو عمه فأراد أن يعطيه الزكاة فإن لم يفرض القاضي عليه النفقة جاز ؛ لأن التمليك بصفة القربة يتحقق من كل وجه ، وإن فرض عليه النفقة لزمانته إن لم يحتسب من نفقتهم جاز ، وإن كان يحتسب لا يجوز
