Why is it acceptable for Muslims to eat meat from a slaughter that stuns the animal?
assistant
Muslims are allowed to eat meat from a slaughter that stuns the animal because the animal is stunned before it is slaughtered. The animal is stunned before it is slaughtered because it is considered to be carrion. However, most Muslims accept this on the grounds that a stunned animal which is not slaughtered recovers to lead a full normal life, therefore stunning does not damage the lifeforce of the animal and is halal.
