Q: I would like to know if, eggs that contain tiny blood clots in them when cracked open haraam for consumption?
Recently I have been having a huge problem with both big, small and tiny blood spots in both the egg yolks and white and most of time it is extremely difficult to see and remove all the blood spots especially if they are a lots small and tiny spots in the egg yolks and sometimes the egg whites. If for example I have to bake a cake it can take at times an hour or more to just clean the eggs. In addition, at times it is impossible and very difficult to remove all the clots.
As a result I have stopped eating eggs and anything that contains eggs because I do not want to consume anything that is not halaal and Tayyab. But I also do not want make what is permissable for consumption haraam.
Do we have remove every tiny blood clot in both the yolks and whites or just the big spots.
Please advice accordingly.
A: We have not found any clear ruling of the Fuqaha on this issue. However, the Fuqaha have stated that if a blood clot comes out of a human being, then it will not be regarded as impure. Hence, based on this verdict, we understand that a blood clot found in an egg will also not be impure. Therefore, if the blood is not in liquid form, but it is a blood clot, and after you remove it, you do not find any traces of the blood, you may consume the egg. You may refer to other Ulama' in this matter as well.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
