During Qurbani some Muslim brothers were buying rams whilst checking on the size of the testicles, the question is, is it permissible to eat the testicles?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
According to Shari’ah, it is impermissible for one to consume seven parts of an animal:
1) Flowing blood
2) Urinary tract of a male
3) Urinary tract of a female
4) Testicles
5) Glands
6) Bladder
7) Gall bladder[1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
