Question

I was informed that consuming the white spots on an egg is Makrooh Taḥrimi. Kindly confirm if this is correct?

Answer

The red and white spots found in eggs are not Haraam as it is not flowing blood. The same ruling is for the white spots called chalaza. Yes, if an entire egg turns to blood then it will not be permissible to consume.
