assalaam-o-aliakum, if the cow is first stunned, so the cow becomes paralyzed, so its easy to zabiha the cow, is the meat going to be halal or not, fi amanallah

Question

assalaam-o-aliakum, if the cow is first stunned, so the cow becomes paralyzed, so its easy to zabiha the cow, is the meat going to be halal or not, fi amanallah

Answer

It is Makrooh to stun the animal for the convenience of Zabah. An alternate
method should be adopted for the convenience of Zabah. However, if the
animal is slaughtered after being stunned, and is alive, the Zabah will be
correct and the meat will be Halaal.
