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.

1) Flowing blood

2) Urinary tract of a male

3) Urinary tract of a female

4) Testicles

5) Glands

6) Bladder
