Concerns of avodah zarah with a shofar

Question

Recently I saw discussions that there are concerns of avodah zarah with shofars, and that they require supervision / a hechsher. Is this true?I have at home a shofar that I bought for a very cheap price (I don’t remember exactly, but less than 50 shekels). Do I need to throw it out?Thank you very much.

Answer

Shalom uVracha,

Our Rav HaGaon HaRav Amrom Fried shlit”a has ruled that:

“There is no concern in this matter.”
