Summary
Charging an electric vehicle at the office without permission from the employer or premises owner is not permitted, because it counts as using another person's property without their consent. Charging an electric car cannot be equated with charging a mobile phone, as it uses significantly more electricity and may cause harm such as unfairness among employees and higher electricity costs. If the employer grants permission and workplace policy is not breached, it is permissible.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Setiap penggunaan yang tidak mendapatkan keizinan adalah dihukumkan sebagai haram kerana ia termasuk daripada menggunakan harta orang lain tanpa kerelaan pemiliknya.
