Is Batsman out if ball hits on falling stump?

On our last cricket match, strike batter hit the ball and tries to score a single run.

while they try to score a run, fielder throws the ball on non-strike end and bowler tries to catch and hit the ball on stumps but he missed the ball but knocks the stumps without ball... a stump started to fallen....

Again Unfortunately ball came back from bowler hand and hits on the falling stump (not yet completely fallen 20% only, the ball hits the stump before it fallen completely into the ground),

Also batsman not yet popped the crease.

Is this consider as OUT or NOT OUT?

From what u describe, it looks like out. If tbe bails are off the stump has to be uprooted or completely removed from the ground and this instance looks like that eventually after the ball lands in the stump.

No it’s not OUT.
If the bowler missed the stumps the first time but accidentally touched them with his hand without the ball it doesn’t count. The stumps need to be completely knocked down by the ball. So, since the ball hit the stumps when they were still not completely fallen it’s not out. I once had a similar situation I remember we were all in shock, but after consulting the umpire, it turned out it wasn’t out. The rules are clear you just need to understand them well. :)
