Giving zakaah to those who are called Syed (Sayyid)
Question

                is there any truth about, you can't give money,zakat or anything to Syed?
Praise be to Allah.Firstly: 
The idea that there 
          are “sayyids” or “walis” (“saints”) whom Allaah has singled out from 
          among mankind for some favour, or that they have a status which other 
          people do not share, is an idea which is based on the Magian belief 
          that Allaah is “incarnated” in people He chooses from among mankind. 
          The Persians used to believe this of their kings (Chosroes) , and that 
          this spirit moved from one king to another, through his descendents. 
          This Magian (Zoroastrian) idea spread to the Muslims via the Raafidi 
          Shi’ah, whose origins are Magian – so this idea was introduced to the 
          Muslims. This idea says that Allaah selects some of mankind, to the 
          exclusion of others, for this status, which is the status of imaamah 
          and wilaayah. So they believe in this idea with regard to  
          ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib and his descendents, and they add other positions 
          to that, such as sayyid and aayah. This idea also spread 
          to some misguided Sufi groups, such as the notion of abdaal and 
          qutb. They said that as this sayyid or wali has 
          this position and status, then they know better what is in our best 
          interests, so we should entrust our affairs to them, because they are 
          better than us, and so they are more entitled to take the zakaah. 
          There can be no doubt that this is obviously a misguided notion.  
          
The truth which Allaah and His Messenger have explained 
          is that the zakaah must be given to those whom Allaah mentioned in His 
          Book, when He said (interpretation of the meaning):  
“As-Sadaqaat (here it means Zakaah) are only for the 
          Fuqaraa’ and Al‑Masaakeen (the poor) and those employed to collect 
          (the funds); and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined 
          (towards Islam); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and 
          for Allaah’s Cause (i.e. for Mujaahideen — those fighting in a holy 
          battle), and for the wayfarer (a traveller who is cut off from everything); 
          a duty imposed by Allaah. And Allaah is All-Knower, All-Wise”[al-Tawbah 
          9:60]
According to the Hanbali madhhab, it is 
          better for the Muslim to handle the distribution of his zakaah himself, 
          giving it to the poor whom he knows in his own country. If he cannot 
          do that, then he should give it to a righteous and trustworthy man whose 
          religious commitment he trusts, so that he may deliver it to the poor 
          and needy – not as these people do who take it for their own personal 
          use. 
 By giving zakaah to these so-called sayyids, one 
          is helping them to support their sect. So it is not permissible, according 
          to sharee’ah, to give them zakaah even if they ask for it, because they 
          are following in the footsteps of the Jews and Christians who came before 
          them, of whom Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 
“O you who believe! Verily, there are many 
          of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks who devour the wealth 
          of mankind in falsehood, and hinder (them) from the way of Allaah (i.e. 
          Allaah’s religion of Islamic Monotheism)…” 
[al-Tawbah 9:34]
And Allaah knows best.
