Charging mobile phones and computers with workplace electricity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on charging personal mobile phones and computers using workplace electricity for purposes other than work?
The Shaykh:
If this is done once or a little, there is nothing wrong with it; it is tolerated. However, if it is done constantly, every day, it is not permissible. This is because it consumes a large amount of electricity and energy. As for the light usage, once, or something similar, there is nothing wrong with it; it is tolerated because it does not consume much energy.
The presenter:
You, Eid.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best. May peace be upon you.
