The answer

Zakat on salary becomes obligatory under certain conditions. It is not permissible to give zakat to one's mother because her maintenance is obligatory upon her child if she is in need, and her marriage to a poor man does not negate this obligation. It is permissible to give zakat to one's stepfather if he is poor.
