Students should not be prevented from staying in the mosque to study. If the residents of the neighborhood pay the electricity bills, they should be gently reminded to contribute, and they will be rewarded. If the state covers the expenses, there is no justification for prevention. Lighting the lamps for studying is a simple matter and is not considered extravagance.
