Does his command to overturn the pots in Khaybar indicate the prohibition of domestic donkey meat, even for a pressing need?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In the narrator’s statement, “And the caller of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called out: Overturn the pots,” this is evidence for the prohibition of domestic donkey meat, even if it is for a pressing need; because they were struck by famine on the day of Khaybar.

Answer:
What is this pressing need? It is not a dire necessity. The forbidden is not made permissible except in the case of dire necessity.
excepting that to which you are compelledإِلَّا مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ
[Al-An'am 6:119]
This is not a dire necessity; this is a pressing need. A pressing need does not make the prohibited permissible. What is disliked is made permissible in the case of a pressing need, but what is forbidden is not; it is only made permissible in the case of dire necessity. Yes.
