# If a dispute arises between the shochet and others regarding the kashrut of a shechita he did/they witnessed, there is much debate about the kashrut of the meat, depending on the circumstances, such as what the Shochet claims the issues were, if he made any excuses or made any marks on the animal, etc.<ref>Simla Chadasha 1:39-41</ref> | # If a dispute arises between the shochet and others regarding the kashrut of a shechita he did/they witnessed, there is much debate about the kashrut of the meat, depending on the circumstances, such as what the Shochet claims the issues were, if he made any excuses or made any marks on the animal, etc.<ref>Simla Chadasha 1:39-41</ref> | ||

# Shechting an animal with any idolotrous statement or intention is prohibited and renders the meat prohibited from benefit on a Torah level, regardless of whom it belongs to. If he shechted with a non-idolotrous but still non-Jewish intention, it is prohibited on a rabbinic level. For example, if he thinks that shechting the animal will magically cause his illness to be healed or in honor of an angel that ministers over the sun, moon, stars, or mountains.<ref>See Simla Chadasha Siman 4 at length.</ref> | |||
# Practically speaking, this issue is most relevant in Muslim slaughterhouses where the administration requires all slaughter be done facing Mecca and preceded with a declaration of the Takbir ("Allahu Akbar..."). If the Muslim standing next to the Jew is the one saying it, strictly speaking there is no issue, but it is still praiseworthy to stop this practice.<ref>Simla Chadasha 4:17</ref> | |||
