Is Cheddar Cheese Wedge Halal?

MUSHBOOH

The ingredient list names enzymes in the cheddar and semisoft cheese, but does not say whether the rennet is microbial or from an Islamically slaughtered animal. A microbial or vegetarian-rennet declaration, or an official 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 cheese should be avoided.
