2824. It was reported from ‘Adī bin Hātīm who said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh! What if one of us catches some game and he does not have a knife, can he slaughter it with a Marwah and a splinter of a staff?’ He said: ‘Cause the blood to flow with whatever you want, and mention the Name of Allāh.’” (Hasan)
2824 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ مُرَيِّ بْنِ قَطَرِيٍّ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَحَدُنَا أَصَابَ صَيْدًا وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُ سِكِّينٌ أَيَذْبَحُ بِالْمَرْوَةِ وَشِقَّةِ الْعَصَا؟ فَقَالَ: «أَمْرِرِ الدَّمَ بِمَا شِئْتَ، وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»

As proved from the previous Aḥādīth, it is not allowed in Islam to slaughter an animal with human teeth or fingernails. Barring these two methods, the animal slaughtered in Allāh’s Name with any sharp device would be legitimate and permitted to eat.
