Summary
Using an electric rice cooker and eating the rice cooked in it is permissible provided the ingredients come from a halal source. Using electricity does not make the cooker or the rice forbidden. However, the act of cooking violates the hostel rules that have been set.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum menggunakan periuk nasi elektrik dan nasi masakan adalah harus dimakan jika sekiranya ia adalah daripada sumber yang halal.
