Is Edamer Cheese Halal?
HALAL
This Edamer cheese contains rennet, but the label does not say whether it is microbial or from an Islamically slaughtered animal. A microbial or vegetable-rennet declaration, vegetarian claim, or halal mark would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari — their opinion: rennet remains pure even without confirmed halal slaughter, so the cheese is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Zaydi, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so this unconfirmed cheese should be avoided.
