Is it permissible to eat the testicles of an animal?

Question

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
