Is Basil Pesto Sauce Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It contains Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, which is traditionally set with rennet; the label does not say whether the rennet is microbial or from halal-slaughtered animals. A microbial/vegetable-rennet note or vegetarian claim would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: rennet remains pure even without confirmed Islamic slaughter, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so this should be avoided while its source is unclear.
