What is the ruling on drinking raw eggs without cooking them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Drinking raw eggs is permissible and has many health benefits. The conditions for its permissibility are that it must come from an animal whose meat is permissible to eat, and that it has not transformed into blood or anything similar (i.e., a fertilized egg). As for the egg of a "jallalah" hen (an animal that habitually eats filth), the apparent ruling is that it is permissible to eat, based on the principle of original permissibility.
