If the question relates to shooting regular shot pellets out of a shotgun which is fitted with a rifled barrel for purposes of home defense, then the answer would be "it will work fine". A home defense situation MUST entail engagement at close range since a home invader who is a significant distance away is not a threat and thus is not a valid target. When shooting a shotgun at close range, having the pattern spread quickly would improve the probability of a hit. A rifled barrel would impart a spin on the shot cup and thus to the shot column, causing the column to spread immediately after leaving the muzzle.
If the question is about something else, you will have to improve the wording.

Can you shoot a smooth bore slug through a rifled barrel?
Shooting rifled slugs is the ONLY way to shoot thru a smoothbore for deer. If you shoot sabot slugs thru a smoothbore, it will not spin and therefore not be accurate. For accuracy, the slug must spin out of the barrel. Either shoot a rifled slug thru a smooth barrel, or shoot a saboted slug thru a rifled barrel.

Can you shoot a rifled slug through a rifled barrel?
Rifled Slugs are meant for smooth bore barrels mainly. The rifled slug is made of lead and so if you shoot it through a rifled barrel the lead touching the rifling will cause some of the lead to peal off and can build up over a very short period of time. Also the facft that you are shooting a rifled slug through a rifled barrel would cause the bullet to become extremely unstable and inaccurate. Rifle barrel sare meant for sabot slugs (slugs with a plastic wad surrounding the outside). You should eb good though to shoot a rifled slug out of your barrel with a mod choke tube, but smooth bore deer barrels are ideal.M.I.
