Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 36
وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْوَةِ وَ اَلْقَصَبَةِ وَ اَلْعُودِ يَذْبَحُ بِهِنَّ اَلْإِنْسَانُ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدْ سِكِّيناً فَقَالَ "إِذَا فَرَى اَلْأَوْدَاجَ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ ".
Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who said: I asked Abu Ibrahim (Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim عليه السلام) about using a flint, a reed, or a piece of wood to slaughter an animal if one does not have a knife. Imam عليه السلام said: "If it cuts the veins, then there is no harm in it."
