English translation

2801. It was reported from Al-Barā' bin 'Azib who said: "A maternal uncle of mine, called Abū Burdah, sacrificed before the (Eid) prayer. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to him: 'Your sheep only counts as meat.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! I have a (domestic) Jadh'ah goat with me.' He said: 'Sacrifice it, but it will be of no benefit for other than you.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

2801 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ: ضَحَّى خَالٌ لِي يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: « شَاتُكَ شَاةُ لَحْمٍ؟» فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عِنْدِي دَاجِنًا جَذَعَةً مِنَ الْمَعْزِ فَقَالَ: «اذْبَحْهَا وَلَا تَصْلُحُ لِغَيْرِكَ»

These may be interpreted as meaning that it is allowed to slaughter the Jadh'ah sheep but not the Jadh'ah goat.
