Is Beemster Aged Cheese Halal?
HALAL
This aged 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 is not made impure by the animal's death, so the cheese is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so this unconfirmed cheese should be avoided.
