Cannibalism Due To Circumstances Acceptable?
If circumstances are such there is no food — no plants, no animals — and only human bodies, would cannibalism be acceptable according to Islam?
Situations like these have arises in war zones and after genocides.

It is already stated in the Qur’an that in the sate of compulsion of desperation to eat a haram food is allowed only to avoid death.

Thanks

But the list of haram food doesnt include human beings- hence this question.

The Quran did not provide a list. The prohibition of eating a human being is beyond question.

Yes that’s what I meant. Eating a human being is so unacceptable that perhaps even in case of no option it couldn’t be allowed …. there is a list of haram things (flesh of swine, blood, carrion 5:3, 16:115) and what I understand is the exception to eat them in absence of any halal food is restricted just to those foods…. human beings won’t still be permissible even if there is a genocide and there’s nothing to eat. That’s why I asked.
