Is Aged sheep cheese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
This aged sheep cheese contains rennet, but the label does not say whether it is microbial or from a halal-slaughtered animal; a microbial or vegetable-rennet note would settle it.
Hanafi — their opinion: rennet remains permissible even when the animal’s death was not confirmed, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Hanbali — their opinion: rennet should come from a halal source, so this cheese should be avoided without confirmation.
