The answer

Eating rotten eggs is forbidden due to their impurity and harm. As for eggs boiled with something impure, scholars have differed regarding the ruling on eating them: The majority of scholars permitted eating them, based on the reasoning that the eggshell protects them from the penetration of impurity. In contrast, the Malikis prohibited eating them, explaining that the impure water seeps through the pores of the egg, especially if the color of the water in which it was boiled changed, or if there was a rotten egg among them.
