Is it safe to use an electric stove as a heater?

We recently ran out of gas at our house and we haven’t had enough cash to buy anything outside of the necessities. We’ve been toughing out the weather until we can afford more, but it has been getting pretty cold lately. I know using a gas stove in such a manner would be dangerous, but if monitored, is an electric stove safe to just rise the temperature to a comfortable level?
