Is it permissible to use the mosque's electricity?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a person in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) to use and benefit from the electricity of the Sacred Mosque?

Answer:
Yes. The electricity is installed to help Muslims in their acts of worship, such as reciting the Qur'an, performing tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), and the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As long as it is open, a person may benefit from it, because it was not opened except for people to benefit from it.
