Hadith 34853
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid ibn Abdullah ibn Qusayt
from Muhammad ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Thawban from his mother that
A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, ordered that the skins of carrion be used after they had
been tanned.
Muwatta Malik Book 25, Hadith 18

Yahya related to me from Malik that the best of what he had heard
about a man who is forced by necessity to eat carrion is that he ate
it until he was full and then he took provision from it. If he found
something which would enable him to dispense with it, he threw it
away.
Malik when asked whether or not a man who had been
forced by necessity to eat carrion, should eat it when he also found
the fruit, crops or sheep of a people in that place, answered, "If he
thinks that the owners of the fruit, crops, or sheep will believe his
necessity so that he will not be deemed a thief and have his hand cut
off, then I think that he should eat from whatever he finds that which
will remove his hunger but he should not carry any of it away. I
prefer that he does that than that he eat carrion. If he fears that he
will not be believed, and will be deemed a thief for what he has
taken, then I think that it is better for him to eat the carrion, and
he has leeway to eat carrion in this respect. Even so, I fear that
someone who is not forced by necessity to eat carrion might exceed the
limits out of a desire to consume other peoples' property, crops or
fruit."
Malik said, "That is the best of what I have heard." Muwatta Malik Book 25, Hadith 19
