Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “So whoever is forced by necessity, neither desiring it nor transgressing” — that is, one who does not commit aggression against the Muslims nor exceeds the limits, one who has set out with the intention of severing ties of kinship, highway robbery, or spreading corruption in the land, and then is compelled to eat carrion, then it is not lawful for him.
