Answer:- Helping your poor relatives is very important and it must be given more
importance than helping other poor person if your relatives are really in
need.
Khums is two parts i.e Sahm Imam (AS) and Sahm Sadat. If your poor
relatives are Sadat, you can give them from Sahm Sadat. If your poor
relatives are not Sadat, then you need to seek permission from your Marja'
of Taqleed to give part of Sahm Imam (AS) to them.
It is great reward to help your poor relatives from your own money (the 80%
which remains with you after paying your obligatory Khums).
Wassalam.
Mohammad al-Musawi
