May the mohel return to cut leftover flesh (tzitzin) after completing the circumcision on Shabbat?
Synopsis
While the mohel has not yet withdrawn his hand from the procedure, he may return to cut even non-invalidating tzitzin. Once he withdraws his hand, he may only return for invalidating tzitzin. There is dispute about the exact moment 'withdrawal' occurs.
