Is Gorgonzola Cheese Halal?

MUSHBOOH

This Gorgonzola contains rennet, and the label does not say whether it is microbial or from an Islamically slaughtered animal. A microbial or vegetarian-rennet declaration would settle it.

Hanafi, Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: rennet remains pure even without confirmed slaughter, so it is allowed.

Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so it should be avoided when that source is unknown.
