The answer

It is not permissible to pay an internet bill from the state budget without the permission of the competent authorities, as this is considered unlawful embezzlement (ghulul), based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, there are men who delve into Allah's wealth without right; for them is the Fire on the Day of Resurrection." Likewise, it is not permissible to use the internet belonging to a person or institution without their permission.
