The answer

is given to the eight categories mentioned in the Holy Quran. If your sister's children are poor, needy, or in debt, it is permissible to give them zakat. They have a greater right to it than others, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Charity given to a poor person is charity, and charity given to a relative is both charity and upholding the ties of kinship."
