Is Sliced Cheddar Cheese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It contains microbial and/or animal rennet, and the label does not confirm which type is used; a microbial or vegetarian-rennet declaration would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: rennet remains pure even without confirmed halal slaughter, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so this doubtful product should be avoided.
