Is Kirkland Cheese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
This cheese contains enzymes, which may include rennet, and the label does not confirm a halal source; a microbial or halal-rennet declaration would settle it.
Hanafi — their opinion: Allowed — rennet is not made impure by the animal's death, so the cheese is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: Doubtful — the rennet should come from a halal source, so it should be avoided without confirmation.
