# If he is lax in the observance of a mitzvah unrelated to Shechita, then being a Mumar for that mitzvah does not damage his ability to observe Shechitah laws, but tighter supervision would be necessary to permit meat he shechted if he violated the mitzvah lete'avon.<ref>Simla Chadasha 2:13</ref> | # If he is lax in the observance of a mitzvah unrelated to Shechita, then being a Mumar for that mitzvah does not damage his ability to observe Shechitah laws, but tighter supervision would be necessary to permit meat he shechted if he violated the mitzvah lete'avon.<ref>Simla Chadasha 2:13</ref> | ||
# Apikorsim, as defined in Sanhedrin's Perek Chelek, such as one who denigrates a Talmid Chacham, are not suspect of being lax in shechitah just because they have an inappropriate attitude in a different context. As such, their knives do not need to be checked, since they still keep the mitzvah of Shechitah in high regard. Some would say this could extend to permitting the shechitah of people who are lax in a particular mitzvah whose observance has lopsided to the point of total disregard.<ref>Simla Chadasha 2:17</ref> | |||
