Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, the question has been asked frequently by the brothers in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) in the Sacred Mosque regarding the use of the electricity available in the Haram to charge a mobile phone. Is there any issue with this?
Answer:
I said previously: seek permission from the authority, from the Presidency of the Affairs of the Sacred Mosque. Seek their permission; if they grant it, there is no harm. If they do not grant it, it is not permissible for you to do this. Yes.
