The answer

If the animal is permissible to eat (halal), then its eggs are permissible. If it is impermissible (haram), then its eggs are impermissible. Eggs that come from an animal whose meat is permissible to eat, whether during its life, after its ritual slaughter (dhakāt), or after its death (for animals that do not require dhakāt, like fish), are permissible to eat by consensus, unless they have spoiled. Accordingly, crocodile eggs are permissible because crocodiles are among what is permissible to eat, whereas hawk and eagle eggs are impermissible because their meat is not eaten.
