זבחים פרק ג׳ משנה ה׳

In the case of one who slaughters sacrificial female animals with the intent to eat the fetus of those animals or their placenta outside the designated area, he has not rendered the offering piggul. Likewise, in the case of one who pinches doves, i.e., slaughters them for sacrifice by cutting the napes of their necks with his fingernail, with the intent to eat their eggs that are still in their bodies outside the designated area, he has not rendered the offering piggul. This is because the fetus, the placenta, and the eggs are not considered part of the body of the animal or the bird. For the same reason, one who consumes the milk of sacrificial female animals or the eggs of doves is not liable to receive karet for it, neither due to the prohibition of piggul, nor due to the prohibition of notar, nor due to the prohibition against partaking of the meat while ritually impure.
הַשּׁוֹחֵט אֶת הַמֻּקְדָּשִׁין לֶאֱכֹל שָׁלִיל אוֹ שִׁלְיָא בַחוּץ, לֹא פִגֵּל. הַמּוֹלֵק תּוֹרִין בִּפְנִים לֶאֱכֹל בֵּיצֵיהֶם בַּחוּץ, לֹא פִגֵּל. חֲלֵב הַמֻּקְדָּשִׁין וּבֵיצֵי תוֹרִין, אֵין חַיָּבִין עֲלֵיהֶן מִשּׁוּם פִּגּוּל וְנוֹתָר וְטָמֵא:
ה׳

השוחט את המוקדשין – whenever that it (i.e., the Mishnah) uses this language, it speaks of females.

שליל (embryo) – that is in her womb

שליא (after-birth, placenta) – the skin that covers the fetus, this intention does not invalidate the sacrifice. For the embryo and the placenta are not the body of the sacrifice [in the strictest sense] (see Tractate Temurah 31b).

לא פיגל – this is what he said: A person who slaughters the [female] consecrated animal to eat the fetus or the placenta outside of its [appropriate] place, did not make it invalid. And if he intended to eat from them outside of its [appropriate] time, did not make a sacrifice rejectable through improper mental disposal (see Leviticus 19:7).

חלב המוקדשין וביצי תורין אין חייבין עליהן משום פיגול – if he had an inappropriate intention with a sacrifice and consumed from the milk that was in its breasts, he is not liable for it because of an inappropriate intention, for it is not the main part of the sacrifice.

השוחט את המוקדשין. כל היכא דנקט האי לישנא מיירי בנקבות:

לאכול שליל. שבמעיה:

או שליא. העור החופה את הולד. אין מחשבה זו פוסלת את הזבח. דשליל ושליא לאו גופא דזיבחא הוא:

לא פיגל. הכי קאמר, השוחט את המוקדשין לאכול שליל או שליא חוץ למקומו, לא פסל. ואם חשב לאכול מהן חוץ לזמנו, לא פיגל:

חלב המוקדשין וביצי תורין אין חייבין עליהן משום פיגול. אם פגל בזבח ואכל מחלב שבדדיה, לא מחייב עליה משום פגול, דלאו גופא דזיבחא הוא:

Mishnayos Zevachim Perek 3 Mishnah 6

זבחים פרק ג׳ משנה ו׳

If one slaughters the animal in order to leave its blood or its sacrificial portions for the next day, or to remove them outside the designated area, but not in order to sacrifice them the next day, Rabbi Yehuda deems the offering unfit, and the Rabbis deem it fit. In the case of one who slaughters the animal in order to place the blood upon the ramp or on the wall of the altar that is not opposite the base of the altar, or in order to place the blood that is to be placed above the red line below the red line, or to place the blood that is to be placed below the red line above the red line, or the blood that is to be placed inside the Sanctuary outside the Sanctuary, or the blood that is to be placed outside the Sanctuary inside the Sanctuary; and likewise, if he slaughtered the animal with the intent that ritually impure people will partake of it, or that ritually impure people will sacrifice it, or that uncircumcised people will partake of it, or that uncircumcised people will sacrifice it; and likewise, with regard to the Paschal offering, if he had intent during the slaughter to break the bones of the Paschal offering, or to eat from the meat of the Paschal offering partially roasted, or to mix the blood of an offering with the blood of unfit offerings, in all these cases, although he intended to perform one of these prohibited acts, some of which would render the offering unfit, the offering is fit. The reason is that intent does not render the offering unfit except in cases of intent to eat or to burn the offering beyond its designated time and outside its designated area, and in addition, the Paschal offering and the sin offering are disqualified by intent to sacrifice them not for their sake.
שְׁחָטוֹ עַל מְנָת לְהַנִּיחַ דָּמוֹ אוֹ אֶת אֵמוּרָיו לְמָחָר, אוֹ לְהוֹצִיאָן לַחוּץ, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה פוֹסֵל, וַחֲכָמִים מַכְשִׁירִין. שְׁחָטוֹ עַל מְנָת לִתְּנוֹ עַל גַּבֵּי הַכֶּבֶשׁ שֶׁלֹּא כְנֶגֶד הַיְסוֹד, לִתֵּן אֶת הַנִּתָּנִין לְמַטָּה, לְמַעְלָה, וְאֶת הַנִּתָּנִין לְמַעְלָה, לְמַטָּה, אֶת הַנִּתָּנִין בִּפְנִים, בַּחוּץ, וְאֶת הַנִּתָּנִין בַּחוּץ, בִּפְנִים, שֶׁיֹּאכְלוּהוּ טְמֵאִים, שֶׁיַּקְרִיבוּהוּ טְמֵאִים, שֶׁיֹּאכְלוּהוּ עֲרֵלִים, שֶׁיַּקְרִיבוּהוּ עֲרֵלִים, לְשַׁבֵּר עַצְמוֹת הַפֶּסַח וְלֶאֱכֹל הֵימֶנּוּ נָא, לְעָרֵב דָּמוֹ בְדַם פְּסוּלִין, כָּשֵׁר, שֶׁאֵין הַמַּחֲשָׁבָה פוֹסֶלֶת אֶלָּא חוּץ לִזְמַנּוֹ וְחוּץ לִמְקוֹמוֹ, וְהַפֶּסַח וְהַחַטָּאת שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁמָן:

להניח את דמו או את אמוריו למחר – not that he would offer them up as incense on the morrow, for this intention is outside of its [appropriate] time and is it an offering completely disqualified by improper intention, but rather, on the condition that he would leave over everything for the morrow and not offer them up as incense.

ר' יהודה פוסל – since he would invalidate it by taking it outside and by leaving I, he would invalidate it also by the intention of removing it outside and leaving it, and just as if he left them for the morrow it is invalid, that the blood is invalidated with the setting of the sun, so also if he intended regarding them to leave them for the morrow, he has invalidated it.

וחכמים מכשירין – since he did not intend either to offer up incense nor to sprinkle/toss [the blood] nor to consume it outside of its [appropriate] time. And similarly, if he did not intend neither to offer up nor to toss nor to consume it outside of its [appropriate] place, he did not invalidate it. And the Halakha is according to the Sages. But surely, Rabbi Yehuda did not invalidate by intention of tossing blood that should be tossed below [the red line] by tossing them above, for since, if he did this, he invalidated it, because Rabbi Yehuda holds that a person who intends to toss the blood on the Altar, even if it is not in its [appropriate] place, it is as if he intended to toss it in is [appropriate] place, as long has he did not intend to toss it outside of the Temple courtyard.

להניח את דמו או את אמוריו למחר. לא שיקטירם למחר, דהאי מחשבת חוץ לזמנו היא ופגול גמור הוי. אלא על מנת שיניח הכל למחר ולא יקטירם:

ר׳ יהודה פוסל. הואיל ומיפסל בהוצאה ובהנוח, מיפסל נמי במחשבת הוצאה והנוח. וכשם שאם הניחן למחר פסול, דדם נפסל בשקיעת החמה, כך אם חשב עליהן להניחם למחר, פסל:

וחכמים מכשירין. הואיל ולא חשב לא להקטיר ולא לזרוק ולא לאכול חוץ לזמנו, וכן לא חשב לא להקטיר ולא לזרוק ולא לאכול חוץ למקומו, אע״פ שחשב להניח למחר או להוציא חוץ למקומו, לא פסל. והלכה כחכמים. והא דלא פסל ר׳ יהודה במחשב בדמים הנתנין למטה לתת אותם למעלה הואיל ואם עשה כן פסל, משום דסבירא ליה לר׳ יהודה שהחושב לזרוק הדם על המזבח אפילו שלא במקומו כאילו חשב לזרקו במקומו, ובלבד שלא יחשוב לזרוק חוץ לעזרה:
