Question: Is
eating sheep’s testicles permissible in Islam or not. Please explain to
me in detail because some of my friends are eating them regularly; when
I stopped them, they told me that they are permissible in Islam.
Answer: The
edibles which are prohibited in Islam are clearly mentioned in the Qur’an;
sheep’s testicles are not among them. Therefore, they can be eaten. However,
it is certainly not imperative to eat them; if you feel an aversion to
a certain type of food you can refrain from it but you can’t stop others
from eating food items that are not forbidden; do keep in mind that people
have varied tastes regarding food; what may seem unpleasant to you might
seem very delicious to others.
