Question 1

Is Mozzarella di Bufala halal?

Accepted Answer

Mozzarella di Bufala is MUSHBOOH. Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP is set with rennet, but this label does not confirm whether it is microbial or from an Islamically slaughtered animal. A microbial or vegetarian-rennet declaration would settle it. Hanafi — their opinion: rennet remains allowed even when the animal's death was not confirmed, so this cheese is allowed. Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: rennet should come from a halal source, so this cheese should be avoided. Follow your own scholar.
