Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Is it haram to eat Goats testicles. Not that i have every eaten it, it was brought up in a discussion with friends

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Is it haraam to eat goat’s testicles?

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His  forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

The goat is not listed in the list of haraam animals provided by Allah and His Messenger (saws), and as is the principle in Islam, whatever is not listed in the haraam category is halaal for the believers.

When an animal is halaal in Islam, all parts of its body will be considered halaal for the believers to consume as food. Goat testicles, therefore, are absolutely halaal and the believers may eat them without hesitation if they wish to do so.

On a personal note, I have personally tried them (once) and found them to be delicious!

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
