Is French Emmental Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It contains coagulant, meaning rennet, and the label does not confirm whether it is microbial or from an Islamically slaughtered animal; a microbial or vegetarian-rennet note would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: rennet remains pure even without confirmed halal slaughter, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: rennet should come from a halal source, so this cheese should be avoided unless its source is confirmed.
