Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

Is it forbidden to eat an animal or a bird that is not permissible to eat if a person is obliged to do so, such as being in a forest or a place where there is nothing but these animals that are forbidden to eat? For example, he saw a rabbit, a hawk, or an eagle, and he caught them, then cooked and ate them. Will he sin knowing that he is obliged to do so? The rule says "Necessity knows no law"?

Answer

In the name of Allah, if survival depends on what has been mentioned, it is permissible for him to do so. Allah knows best.
