The answer

It is not permissible to use Zakat funds to feed gatherings. The uses of Zakat are precisely defined by Islamic law, and they do not include feeding guests or gatherings. If there is someone among them who is eligible for Zakat, the Zakat should be given directly to them, not used to feed them.
