What is the ruling on eating chicken slaughtered by electric shock when no other kind is available and there is a medical need for it?

The questioner must refrain from eating stunned chicken, because it is carrion (maytah) which is forbidden, and his illness does not permit him to eat it. If eating it is out of fear of harm, based on the instructions of a trustworthy doctor, then there is no sin; otherwise, he must repent and seek forgiveness. The estimation of harm is to be referred to specialized doctors.
