Is Fresh Cheese Halal?
HALAL
It contains rennet, whose animal source and slaughter are not stated on the label; a microbial-rennet note, vegetarian claim, or halal mark would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: calf 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.
