Responsa for Chullin 17:40
גופא אמר רב הונא
- He teaches you this: That even if something happened to the animal to impair its status<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' E.g., if some defect or disorder is now found in the animal, and there is a doubt whether it was there before the slaughtering or not, the animal is permitted because of the principle stated by R. Huna.');"><sup>23</sup></span>
Shut min haShamayim
They responded: the halacha is well known - "A slaughtered animal is presumed to be kosher" (Chullin 9a:8), and "We do not presume things to be prohibited" (Rif Chullin 18a:4). Yet all who are stringent regarding the lungs will merit to sit in the Heavenly Yeshiva.
