Eating the testicle of a slaughtered animal is permissible as long as it was not cut from a live animal. Some scholars dislike it due to its perceived impurity. All sea animals are permissible, such as shrimp and crab, unless their harm is proven. Prohibited animals are not limited to a specific number and include pigs, animals with fangs and claws, and impure animals, in addition to what the Prophet commanded to kill.
