Is Salsa con Queso Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It contains Monterey Jack cheese, which is commonly set with rennet, but the label does not state whether it is microbial or from halal-slaughtered animals; a microbial or vegetable-rennet note would settle it.
Hanafi — their opinion: rennet is not made impure by the animal's death, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Hanbali — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so it should be avoided when that source is unconfirmed.
