Chapter: What carrion is lawful out of necessity
Bayhaqi 19634 — What carrion is lawful out of necessity
قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُمْ مَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ} [الأنعام: 119]، وَقَالَ: {إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ بِهِ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ} [البقرة: 173]. قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: {غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ} [البقرة: 173] يَقُولُ: غَيْرَ قَاطَعٍ السَّبِيلَ وَلَا مُفَارِقٍ الْأَئِمَّةَ وَلَا خَارِجٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ..
Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: "While He has explained to you in detail what He has made unlawful for you, except what you are compelled to." [Surah al-An'am: 119]
And He said: "He has only forbidden you carrion, blood, the flesh of swine, and that over which a name other than Allah's has been invoked; but whoever is compelled, neither rebelling nor transgressing, there is no sin upon him." [Surah al-Baqarah: 173]
Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said concerning "neither rebelling nor transgressing" [Surah al-Baqarah: 173]: "That is, he is not a highway robber, nor one who separates from (and rebels against) the rulers of the Muslims, nor one who sets out (on a journey) in disobedience to Allah, Majestic is His Majesty."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ السَّمَّاكِ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ الْأَزْرَقُ، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: مَاتَ بَغْلٌ، أَوْ قَالَ: نَاقَةٌ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ فَأَتَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيَسْتَفْتِيَهُ، فَزَعَمَ جَابِرٌ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِهَا: " أَمَا لَكَ مَا يُغْنِيكَ عَنْهَا؟ " قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: " اذْهَبْ كُلْهَا ".
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that a man's mule or she-camel died, and he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to ask for a ruling. Jabir says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have anything that would make you independent of it?" He replied: There is nothing. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and eat it."
