Is Hushållsost Halal?

MUSHBOOH

The label lists ystenzym (rennet), but does not say whether it is microbial or from an animal slaughtered Islamically; a microbial-rennet declaration would settle the doubt.

Hanafi — Allowed: their opinion is that rennet is not made impure by the animal's death, so it is allowed.

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