If you never use it, it should be fine. You could always try to find the gas line that goes to the stove and turn it off there - it should have a valve on it.

There’s always a risk of a gas leak, even if you don’t use an appliance, but you’d (hopefully) smell it before it becomes a major issue. If you ever think you smell a gas leak, immediately call your gas company. They should have a 24/7 emergency number.
