Core Text — Toras Kohanim (Sifra), Dibbura DeNedavah, Chapter 5

אֵין לִי אֶלָּא שֶׁנִּשְׁחֲטָה לְשְׁמָהּ; שֶׁלֹּא לְשְׁמָהּ מִנַּיִין? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר ״הָעֹלָה״ — כָּל שֶׁהִיא עוֹלָה טְעוּנָה הַפְשָׁטָה.

English: I have only [the case of] one slaughtered for its own sake; from where [do we know] one not for its own sake? The verse says “the olah” — whatever is an olah requires stripping.

In Sifra: Hafshatah tracks the animal’s status as olah, not only ideal lishmah slaughter. Even shelo lishmah, if it remains an olah, the stripping requirement still applies.

Type of Learning

Ribbuy from “the olah” — any olah requires hafshatah, including shelo lishmah.

What Is Learned

Hafshatah applies to any animal that is an olah, including one slaughtered shelo lishmah. “The olah” is the inclusive term that extends the duty beyond the ideal case.
