Eating the meat of a cow that has fainted after being slaughtered
What is the ruling on slaughtering a cow that has fainted from medication, and eating its meat? Is it permissible to eat the meat of cows that have been slaughtered in this manner?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to slaughter the cow even if it is unconscious, as long as it has not died before the slaughter, and it is lawful to eat it, and God knows best.
