Syedna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that there were some people living in a house at the Harrah area in Madinah, and they were very needy. A she-camel belonging to them or to someone else died. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted them permission to eat that dead animal, and thus they were able to survive the rest of the winter or the time of famine. In another narration, it is mentioned: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the owner of the she-camel, "Do you have anything else besides this dead animal?" He replied, "No, I do not." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then go and eat it."
