Is Basil Pesto Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The Grana Padano cheese contains rennet, but the label does not say whether it is from a halal source; a microbial or vegetarian rennet declaration would settle this.
Hanafi, Jafari — their opinion: rennet remains pure even if the animal was not slaughtered Islamically, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali — their opinion: rennet should come from a halal source, so they treat this as doubtful and avoid it.
