Question
This morning, when I took the shofar to blow it, it slipped from my hand and cracked. Is there an issue with blowing this shofar in the month of Elul?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
In a blowing that is a custom and not an obligation, there is no need to strictly adhere to the kashrut of the shofar, nor the kashrut of the blowings.

According to Ritva, Rosh Hashanah 26: [regarding blowing as a remembrance for the Jubilee].
