In case of non singular expression that you need to skip, dont skip it
and then divide by this term.
In case it is singular (as I have seen in the given site) you
generate a list with 1 replacing the skipped expression and then Apply
Times on the list
the following is just a simple (but yet demonstrative enough) for both cases
skipProd1[j_Integer] := Product[f[i], {i, 10}]/f[j](* non singular case *)
skipProd2[j_Integer] := Times @@ Table[If[i == j, 1, f[i]], {i, 10}](*
singular case*)
