The answer

It is permissible to eat carrion in times of necessity, based on Allah's words: ﴿But whoever is forced by necessity, neither desiring it nor transgressing, then there is no sin upon him﴾. Scholars have reached a consensus on this. The one who is compelled and finds nothing else to eat is obligated to eat from it. This is the relied-upon view among the Four Imams and others, as mentioned by Ibn Taymiyyah.
