Testicles
Testicles are called ‘Khuṣyaĥ’, ‘Fauṭaĥ’ or ‘Bayḍaĥ.’ It is Makrūĥ Taḥrīmī to consume them. The testicles of male animals like the bull and goat etc., are easily visible. In a rooster they are located behind the intestine and are small egg-like structures, remove them [while cleaning the meat]. Tragically, ‘Kaṭā-Kaṭ’ is a commonly sold food in some of the restaurants of the subcontinent. Besides the liver and heart, it also contains goat and bull testicles. This is prepared on a large iron griddle pan, and is called ‘Kaṭā-Kaṭ’ perhaps because it is prepared right before the customer using some utensils that make a sound of ‘Kaṭ’, ‘Kaṭ’ when it hits against the iron griddle pan.
Tripe [cow stomach] contains body waste of the animal. It is Makrūĥ Taḥrīmī to eat the tripe of the animal. Tragically several Muslims eat it.
Here are two sayings of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:
i. ‘A Muslim’s intention is better than his deed.’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabīr, vol. 6, pp. 185, Ḥadīš 5942)
ii. ‘A good intention makes a person enter Paradise.’ (Al-Firdaus bimā Šaur-ul-Khaṭṭāb, vol. 4, pp. 305, Ḥadīš 6895)
