An uncle of mine called Abu Burda, slaughtered his sacrifice before the ʿId prayer. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Your (slaughtered) sheep was just mutton (not a sacrifice)." Abu Burda said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have got a domestic kid goat." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will not be permissible for anybody other than you" The Prophet ﷺ added, "Whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before the (ʿId) prayer, he only slaughtered for himself, and whoever slaughtered it after the prayer, he offered his sacrifice properly and followed the tradition of the Muslims."
