Such an imam is ignorant and he is telling a lie!

Dear sheikh, what is the ruling on giving charity to poors inside mosque? In this blessed month many poor and needy people come to mosque and when prayer finishes they stand ask people to help and sit inside mosque. Seeing these one imam of one of mosque said that it is prohibited to give charity inside mosque if any one gives he has to pay 70 times more for its kaffara. Please expand on it.
