Consuming chicken that has been stunned

Q: I would like to know if it is permissible to eat chicken that has been stunned prior to slaughter?

A: 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.
