It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Waqid Al-Laithi (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I said, O Messenger of Allah! We live in a region where hunger prevails, what is permissible for us from the dead animals? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you find nothing to eat in the morning, nor in the evening, and you do not find any vegetables, then you may eat the dead animal.
