Summary
Torpedo soup made mainly from a bull's penis is lawful (halal) to eat, but it is disliked (makruh). The penis is counted among animal parts regarded as repulsive by normal human taste. The fatwa refers to a hadith in al-Baihaqi's collection on disliked parts of a goat, which al-Nawawi graded weak, and to al-Khattabi's view that these parts are disliked except blood, which is forbidden.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Zakar lembu jantan termasuk bahagian yang halal dimakan namun makruh hukumnya jika dimakan kerana ia termasuk dalam kategori anggota yang menjijikkan.
