Is it permissible to distribute the surplus sandals from a mosque to public facilities (such as a water treatment plant) or government facilities for their use and benefit?

It is not permissible to take sandals endowed for mosques and place them in government offices, because the endowment is specific to what it was endowed for, and because mosques are in constant need of such sandals, which wear out with use.
