โAnyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-comeโ (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)
Baruch Hashem we have concluded discussing many Halachot pertaining to the Melachah of Tzad/Trapping. B'ezrat Hashem we will now be discussing the Melachah of Shochet.
Question:
What exactly is the melachah of shochet?
Answer:
One of the 39 Melachot is Shochet (Slaughtering).
In order to skin the animals for the coverings of the Mishkan, the animal first had to be slaughtered. [1]
The melachah of Shochet is not limited to just slaughtering the animal and it includes any method of killing a living creature. [2]
Even causing a mortal injury is considered Shochet, even if the creature does not die until after Shabbat. [3] Similarly, even killing a mortally ill animal is not permitted.
Furthermore, unlike Tzad (as we mentioned in a previous Halacha Moment), there is no distinction between species, and killing any animal or even insect is prohibited [4] (there are some cases which are permitted as will be discussed in future Halacha Moments).
Over the next couple of days we will discuss a lot of common and practical questions regarding this Melachah. Stay tuned :)
