Sahih Muslim 1196g (Book 15, Hadith 67) #10002
Eating Meat While in Ihram

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) allowed his companions to eat the meat of a wild ass while they were in the state of Ihram.

Abdullah b. Abu Qatada narrated on the authority of his father (Allah be pleased with him) that they went with the Messenger of Allah on an expedition to Hudaibiya. He (further) said: They had entered upon the state of Ihram except I for 'Umra. He (again) said: I (Abu Qatada) hunted a wild ass and fed my companions in the state of their being Muhrim. 1 then came to the Messenger of Allah and informed him that we had with us the meat that was left out of it. Thereupon he said: "Eat it," while they were in the state of Ihram.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَلاَّمٍ - أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، - رضى الله عنه - أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، غَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ غَزْوَةَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَالَ فَأَهَلُّوا بِعُمْرَةٍ غَيْرِي - قَالَ - فَاصْطَدْتُ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ فَأَطْعَمْتُ أَصْحَابِي وَهُمْ مُحْرِمُونَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَنْبَأْتُهُ أَنَّ عِنْدَنَا مِنْ لَحْمِهِ فَاضِلَةً ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ كُلُوهُ ‏"‏ وَهُمْ مُحْرِمُونَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow religious rules and regulations except when there is an urgent need or necessity for it .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a situation that occurred during an expedition to Hudaibiya, where some companions were in the state of Ihram and had not yet performed their 'Umra. Abu Qatada hunted a wild ass and fed his companions with its meat, which was left over. When he informed Prophet Muhammad about this, he allowed them to eat it even though they were still in the state of Ihram. This teaches us that sometimes exceptions can be made when it comes to religious rules and regulations if there is an urgent need or necessity for it. It also shows us how merciful and compassionate Prophet Muhammad was towards his followers, as he did not want them to go hungry or suffer any hardship due to their religious obligations.
