Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: Your Eminence, I understood from an answer of yours to a question that you permit

The Shaykh : Let it go, but it is known that you permit

The questioner : you permit a living person to eat from a dead human being out of dire necessity

The Shaykh : how

And if he lives...

The Shaykh : First, look, Abdullah, questions that pertain to medicine, leave them to medicine. Bring up the things that benefit people now.

The questioner : Very well.
