Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 1416/1151/B=08/1435) The sunnah method of slaughtering is that the head of the animal is up and facing Qiblah direction. However, after stunning the animal you may easily raise its head up and slaughter. However, if three blood vessels of throat are cut then it is valid and halal, but it is against sunnah to slaughter the animal in hanging position upside down.
