MUSHBOOH
This pesto may contain cheese made with rennet, but the label does not confirm its source; a microbial, vegetable-rennet, vegetarian, or halal mark 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 doubtful product should be avoided.
