Q286 :Intentions: Matters are left to the clear
intention
A286 : The fact that a person who is so hungry that
he fears for his life is allowed to eat even forbidden types of food
only shows that Islam asks for what is easy, and always gives
situations of necessity the sort of rulings which ensure that no
affliction is caused to its followers. In the end, matters are left to
the clear intention and to being conscious of what Allah requires of
us. A person who is driven by an extreme situation to eat of these
forbidden types having had no intention of netmitting a sin, will
suffer no punishment.
