Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: The rule is that dire necessities permit the prohibited. What is its criterion? And is it permissible for a student of knowledge to assess a dire necessity?

Answer:
A dire necessity is like when a person is on the verge of death and has no food with him. Or he is on the verge of death and has nothing but carrion. He eats from the carrion only the amount that preserves his life. This amount is a dire necessity. This falls under the category of dire necessity, because there is no prohibition in the presence of a dire necessity. When the situation reaches the level of dire necessity, what was forbidden becomes permissible to the extent of the need, to the extent of the need. Then it becomes forbidden again, just as it was at first. Yes.
