What is offered to the House: what is done with it

Tawus, Ata and Mujahid said: Whatever is dedicated as an offering to the House (of Allah) should be sold, camels bought with it, and those given in charity.

Al-Ala bin al-Musayyib said: I asked Ata about seven dirhams that a man's wife had sent as an offering to the House (of Allah). Ata said: "This House of yours has no need of your dirhams; rather, give them to your poor. Indeed, camels are the offerings of the House."
