Charging the Phone in the Mosque During I'tikaf

Question
What is the ruling on using the mosque's electricity to charge a phone, especially during I'tikaf?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The original rule is that charging a phone with the mosque's electricity is not permissible; it is intended for the needs of the mosque and does not include charging phones. However, it may be permissible to make an exception during i'tikaf for necessity, and God knows best.
