Question

My question is that: The place where I am staying is an apartment . We are getting

access to free internet in the form of Wi-Fi . Is it jaayaz for us to use it on the mobile phones since we have

not subscribed to that service?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If the Wi-Fi is meant for all the residents of the apartment, then it is permissible to use the Wi-Fi facility.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
