"SO WHOEVER IS COMPELLED BY NECESSITY, NEITHER SEEKING PLEASURE NOR TRANSGRESSING, THEN THERE IS NO SIN ON HIM. VERILY, ALLAH IS MOST-FORGIVING, VERY MERCIFUL. (SURAH AL-BAQARAH:173)
In terminology of The Shariah Mudtar (مضطر) is someone whose life is in danger. Ordinary pain or need cannot qualify a person to be known as Mudtar. So, for a person whose hunger has driven him to a point beyond which he must either eat or he would die, he can eat what would be Hara'am for other people, on two conditions. Firstly, the aim should be to save life and not to enjoy eating. Secondly, he must eat only as much as would serve to save his life; eating more than necessary is still prohibited for that person.
