# If a shochet is an avel and there is no other shochet available in the town he can work during aveilut since his activity is ochel nefesh.<ref>The Mordechai (Moed Katan no. 929) writes that cooking is permitted for an avel since it is permitted on Yom Tov. The Darkei Moseh 380:5 learns from the Mordechai that anything which is permitted on Yom Tov is permitted for an avel (which follows from the source of working during aveilut being that we compare aveilut and yom tov in Moed Katan 15b). Therefore, Rav Ovadia in Chazon Ovadia (Aveilut v. 2 p. 141) holds that it is permitted for a shochet to do shechita during aveilut if there's no one else available in town. He quotes that Rabbi Akiva Eiger (Drush Vchidush p. 107b) also said this. See, however, the Gilyon Maharsha 380:15 who quotes the Shvut Yakov 3:86 as holding that it is forbidden because of work and the Mahara Klosner who held that it is forbidden because he might not do a proper shechita because of his sorrow. </ref> | |||
