May one give sadaqah al-fitr for construction of a mosque?

One of the conditions of validity of sadaqah al-fitr is tamlik. Tamlik means to transfer the property right on a goods or a financial right to another person. Sadaqah al-fitr cannot be given for a mosque, school, bridge, highway etc. as the condition of tamlik will not be fulfilled in that way (Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, III, 291, 325).
