Is a cow with only one testicle valid for sacrifice, and is it considered a defective animal?
Short answer
A defect in an animal's testicles is not among the defects that prevent the validity of the sacrificial offering.

Summary
A defect in an animal's testicles is not among the defects that prevent the validity of the sacrificial offering. This is because it does not reduce the animal's meat and is not an obviously visible defect. The ruling cites Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, who explained that such a defect even adds to the meat. A cow with a testicular defect is therefore considered valid for sacrifice.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, lembu yang mempunyai kecacatan pada testis ini dikira sah dan boleh untuk dijadikan sebagai haiwan korban.
