Use of Stolen Electricity
My brother lives in a rented house, and the landlord is connecting electricity behind the meter (stealing electricity), and my brother does not pay the landlord for electricity. He asked my mother for an electric heater to use, and my mother is aware that the landlord is stealing electricity. Is there a sin on my mother and brother?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is not permissible to steal electricity, and it is not allowed for your brother to benefit from the stolen electricity, and he is sinful for that. And God knows best.
