"scavenger / someone who eats forbidden things"
Someone who consumes what is religiously forbidden — specifically meat that hasn't been slaughtered according to Islamic law. Metaphorically, someone who profits from haram (forbidden) sources: corruption, theft, exploitation. You don't just eat mordar (carrion) — you choose to, which makes you both impure and morally bankrupt.
