זֶבַח שְׁלָמִים קָרְבָּנוֹ — רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר: הָאוֹנֵן אֵינוֹ מְשַׁלֵּחַ קָרְבְּנוֹתָיו… כָּל קָרְבָּנוֹת שֶׁהוּא מֵבִיא כְּשֶׁהוּא שָׁלֵם הוּא מֵבִיא, וְאֵינוֹ מֵבִיא כְּשֶׁהוּא אוֹנֵן.

English: “A peace-offering slaughter is his offering” — R’ Shimon says: an onein does not send his offerings… all offerings that he brings, he brings when he is whole, and he does not bring when he is an onein.

On the daf / in context: Asmachta for the rabbinic rule that a mourner before burial does not send korbanos. “His offering” while “whole” excludes the anguished onein. The baraisa extends the idea beyond shelamim to other categories.

Type of Learning

Custom (asmachta — korbano while whole).

What Is Learned

An onein does not send sacrificial offerings until after burial (rabbinic, with scriptural support).
