Is Sliced Edam Cheese Halal?

MUSHBOOH

The label lists rennet in this EU cheese, but does not say whether it is microbial or from an animal; a microbial or vegetarian-rennet declaration would settle the doubt.

Hanafi — Allowed: their opinion is that rennet remains pure even if the animal was not Islamically slaughtered.

Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — Doubtful: their opinion is that rennet should come from a halal source, which the label does not confirm.
