Is Gouda Sliced Cheese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
This sliced Gouda contains rennet, but the label does not confirm whether it is microbial or from an Islamically slaughtered animal; a microbial, vegetable-rennet, vegetarian, or halal mark would settle it.
Hanafi — their opinion: rennet remains permissible even when the animal’s death was not confirmed, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Hanbali — their opinion: rennet should come from a halal-slaughtered or microbial source, so it should be avoided here.
