Shulchan Arukh Yoreh De'ah 12 — English translation
Translation: Asher Meza (without commentary). Section numbers match the Hebrew text above.
- 1Seif 1 We don’t slaughter into a basin, even in a house; and if you will don’t want dirty your house with blood, make a place with a slope to the basin and slaughter there, and then the blood of the slaughter will flow in the basin; and in a market this is not done.
- 2Seif 2 There are those who say that if you slaughter in a basin in the market, it is forbidden to eat what he (the person) slaughters until afterwards we check if he is a heretic (or not). There are those who say that it is permitted after the fact without checking (the character of) the slaughterer.

שלא לשחוט בתוך גומא. ובו ב' סעיפים:
אין שוחטין לתוך הגומא אפילו בבית ואם לא היה רוצה ללכלך ביתו בדם עושה מקום מדרון חוץ לגומא ושוחט שם והדם שותת ויורד לגומא ובשוק לא יעשה כן:
י"א שאם שחט בגומא בשוק אסור לאכול משחיטתו עד שיבדקו אחריו. שמא אפיקורס הוא (רמב"ם פ"ב מה"ש ועיטור) ויש אומרים שמותר בדיעבד ואין צריך בדיקה (רשב"א ומרדכי בשם רא"מ) : הגה ובזמן הזה דאין דרך עובדי כוכבים בכך יש להתיר בדיעבד (א"ז ובשחיטות הר"מ ממדלינגן):
