Animals Slaughtered After Electric Shock
Respected scholars, As-salamu `alaykum. If electrical current is applied to an animal for a few seconds to make it unconscious and then it is slaughtered in the Islamic way of halal slaughter, would it be considered halal? It is made scientifically sure that when the animal is slaughtered, it is alive and breathing. The current applied or electrical stunning only makes it immobile to save the struggle of both the animal and the slaughterer. According to the two main requirements of halal slaughter, the animal must be alive at the time of slaughter and maximum blood should be let out of the animal's body. If we meet these two requirements even after applying current, the meat should be halal. Do you agree? Jazakum Allahu khayran.
