The answer

The movement or rising of the sheep after it has been slaughtered is not to be paid attention to. What is important is the completion of its slaughter by cutting the windpipe and the two jugular veins without lifting the knife before the slaughter is complete. If the slaughter is completed in this manner, then its meat is lawful (halal). The movement might be due to the slaughterer's light hand; some people have a light hand when slaughtering, causing the animal to move, while others have a heavy hand, so it does not move. Neither of these matters is harmful.
