Is Tomato Pesto Halal?
MUSHBOOH
Grana Padano and Pecorino Romano contain animal rennet, but the label does not confirm its Islamic slaughter or a microbial source. A microbial or vegetable-rennet statement, vegetarian claim, or official halal mark would settle this.
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 halal slaughter or a microbial source, so it should be avoided without confirmation.
