Answer of the question
According to the predominant opinion of Muslim scholars, it is not permissible to give Zakah money to assist a poor person in performing Hajj or Umrah. These acts of worship are obligatory only for those with the financial means to undertake them. Since the recipients, in this case, lack the necessary means, they are not obligated to perform these acts of worship.
