Is Pecorino Romano Cheese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
This Pecorino Romano contains rennet, but the label does not confirm whether it is microbial or from an Islamically slaughtered animal. A microbial or vegetarian-rennet declaration would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: rennet remains pure even when the animal was not slaughtered Islamically, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so this uncertain cheese should be avoided.
