Is it permissible to distribute zakat directly to Tahfiz centers?

RESULTS:

However, LZS has taken steps to appoint Private Islamic Educational Institutions (IPIS) within Selangor as zakat collection agents. Therefore, if zakat payers wish to ensure that their zakat reaches the tahfiz schools, they are encouraged to pay their zakat to tahfiz institutions that have been appointed by LZS as IPIS zakat collection agents. This is because a portion of the collections received by the IPIS agents will be allocated for the benefit of the respective tahfiz schools.
