Q 2: What is the ruling on slaughtering animals by electrocution, which takes place in many towns?

A: It is unlawful to electrocute animals before slaughtering them, as this involves torture and loss of money in case the animals die, and it will be unlawful to eat their meat. However, if the animals are struck by a sharp tool that cuts the animal's neck, there is no harm to eat from its meat. If they are still alive, they should be slaughtered, and then they would be lawful to eat.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
