Question

I would just look to know what your opinion is on stunned chicken meat, I`ve been told it is makrooh, but what if the chicken is stunned then died instantly and zibah is done, then its too late would not that meat be haraam, I just want to know whether ypur advice is that I should stay away from eating this type of meat.

Answer

If the chicken dies through stunning before Zabah, it will be Haraam. In a
doubtful situation, one should exercise Taqwa and abstain.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
