The Ruling on the Sacrificial Animal Which Does not Move When Being Slaughtered

Question :

Is it correct that if the sacrificial animal does not move when its throat is being cut with the knife that it is not permissible to eat it, and that it is considered dead meat?

Answer:

This ruling applies if it is ill, and close to death, and while slaughtering it in that state it does not move any of its limbs when its neck is cut, even its tail. As for an animal which is not ill, in most cases, it moves when it is slaughtered and it must struggle. However, after cutting and the slaughter is finished, then it is not necessary that the movement continue. Indeed, if the neck was cut quickly and it died, it is permissible to eat.
