Is Melted Cheddar Cheese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
This cheese is set with rennet, but the label does not say whether it is microbial or from a halal-slaughtered animal. A microbial or vegetable-rennet note, vegetarian claim, 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 it should be avoided unless confirmed.
