الجواب حامدا و مصلیا
It is not permissible to feed those who are not entitled to receive Zakat from the funds of Zakat regardless of them being students, teachers or employees. By this (act) the Zakat of the givers too would not be executed. However, if a reasonable amount is added for those who are barred from Zakat from a non-Zakat fund then there is no harm in giving them food. Otherwise it is incumbent to abstain from it.
