Is Pesto alla Genovese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The Grana Padano is set with rennet, but the label does not say whether it is from a halal source; a microbial-rennet declaration would settle this.
Hanafi, Jafari — their opinion: calf rennet remains pure even if the animal was not slaughtered Islamically, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali — their opinion: rennet should come from a halal source, so they treat its unknown source as doubtful and avoid it.
