Electrocuting chicken and then piercing the neck

A: If the case is as you have mentioned that you pierce the necks of the chickens by a sharpened tool such as a spear from one side until it comes out of the opposite side, it will not be permissible to eat them, for they are not slaughtered according to the Shari`ah (Islamic law), and so they are considered dead.As for passing the chickens through electrified water and piercing their necks, this is Haram (prohibited), for this entails torturing the animal and wasting money, given that (Part No. 22; Page No. 500) it then becomes dead. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
