Is it permissible to charge a mobile phone using the mosque's electricity?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a person in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) to use the electricity of the Sacred Mosque to charge his mobile phone battery?

Answer:
Minor matters are not a problem; there is no harm. Plugging a mobile phone into the electricity is a trivial matter; it does not damage the electricity or consume a significant amount. This is tolerated, especially for the person in i'tikaf who cannot go out. There is no harm in plugging the mobile phone into the mosque's electricity because it does not harm the electricity.
