Summary
An egg from an animal that has died is pure and may be eaten if its shell has hardened. If the shell has not yet hardened, the egg is impure and may not be eaten. This ruling follows the explanation in Fath al-Mu'in. A carcass is defined as an animal that dies without a valid Islamic slaughter.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Adapun telur binatang yang telah mati, hukumnya suci dan boleh dimakan dengan syarat kulitnya telah keras. Adapun jika kulit telur itu belum keras maka hukumnya najis dan tidak boleh dimakan.
