Can Zakaah be given to a person for doing Hifz?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I wanted to check about sponsoring a kid for Hifz from start to finish. Can I do it from my yearly zakah?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 245/191/D=03/1437)

If the child is poor and so are his parents and eligible for zakah then zakah amount may be given to such a child. Further if this child is doing Hifz Quran or receiving religious education then you shall get the reward of propagating Islam and protecting religion as well.

Allah knows Best!
