Al-Baqarah 2: 174–6

But he who is constrained (to eat of them) – and he neither covets them nor exceeds the indispensable limit incurs no sin: Allah is All-Forgiving, All- Compassionate.52

(174) Those who conceal anything of the Book revealed by Allah and sell it away for a trifling gain are merely filling their bellies with Fire. Allah will neither address them on the Day of Resurrection, nor shall He pronounce them “pure”. A painful chastisement lies in store for them. (175) They are the ones who bought error in exchange for true guidance, and chastisement in exchange for forgiveness. How patient they are in enduring the Fire! (176) This is so because Allah revealed the Book with the Truth, but those who disagreed concerning the Book veered far away from the Truth.

52 This verse grants permission to use prohibited things on three conditions. First, that one must be in a state of extreme compulsion, for example, one is gravely ill or so hungry and thirsty that one’s very life is in danger, and a prohibited thing is all that is available to save one’s life. Second, the person who consumes a prohibited thing in such a dire state of compulsion should have no inclination to violate the Law of God. Third, in consuming the prohibited thing one should not exceed the limit of bare necessity. If a few bites or a few drops are enough to save one’s life, one ought not to go beyond this absolute minimum.
