Is Taleggio (cheese) Halal?

Q: Is Taleggio (cheese) halal?

Taleggio (cheese) is MUSHBOOH. This Taleggio cheese is made with rennet, but the label does not confirm whether it is microbial or from an Islamically slaughtered animal. A microbial or vegetable-rennet statement, vegetarian claim, or halal mark would settle it. Hanafi — their opinion: rennet remains permissible because it is not made impure by the animal’s death, so it is allowed. Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: rennet should come from a halal source, so this unconfirmed cheese should be avoided. Follow your own scholar.
