Musar for Keritot 49:50
חטאת העוף הבאה על הספק אם משנמלקה נודע תקבר:
obligatory, why is he to bring a sin-offering when the sin becomes known?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If the suspensive guilt-offering is an expiatory sacrifice, i.e., atoning for the sin that might have been committed, why then is a new sacrifice to be offered when the sin becomes known? Has it not already been atoned for?');"><sup>31</sup></span>
Mesilat Yesharim
This is as the matter of Bava Ben Buta who would bring an Asham Talui (undetermined guilt offering) every day (Keritut 25a). Likewise, Iyov, after his sons' feast, would rise early and bring burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For he told himself: "perhaps my children have sinned [and blasphemed G-d in their hearts]" (Iyov 1:5).
