Consuming chicken that has been stunned
Question
I would like to know if it is permissible to eat chicken that has been stunned prior to slaughter?
Answer
If you are certain that the stunning has not killed the animal and you are certain that it was slaughtered while it was alive then it is permissible to eat such a bird.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
