Question:
What is the validity of the rule that dire necessities permit the prohibited, with examples? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Correct. When Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:[Al-An'am 6:119] But some people do not know what constitutes dire necessity; they interpret dire necessity as something other than dire necessity. For example, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation to al-Zubayr and Talhah to wear a silk shirt because of an itch. This is a matter that falls under dire necessity. Yes. May Allah reward you. Nothing happens [in such a case]; he has nothing to cover his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) with, and he cannot find anything to cover his 'awrah with except a silk garment, because of the harm he is suffering. And Allah says: [Al-An'am 6:119] Yes.

Answer:
Correct. When Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:
while He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelled
وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُم مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِwhile He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelled
وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُم مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ
