Abdullah bin al-Mu'ammal (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I heard a man saying to Ibn Abi Mulaykah (may Allah have mercy on him) that Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) told him to place Sadaqat al-Fitr in the mosque.
Ibn Abi Mulaykah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The 'ilj (the non-Arab) has given you a fatwa without proper judgement; distribute it yourself. Ibn Hisham would only give it to his guards and to whomever he wished.
