Is American Cheese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The American cheese contains enzymes, which may include rennet; the label does not confirm a halal source.
Hanafi, Jafari — they consider rennet permissible even without confirmed halal slaughter, because the animal’s death does not make it impure.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali — they consider rennet doubtful unless it comes from a halal source, so it should be avoided until confirmed.
