Is Chesdale Cheese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It contains rennet, but the label does not say whether it is microbial or from a halal-slaughtered animal; a microbial or vegetable-rennet declaration, vegetarian claim, or halal mark would settle it.
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 a halal source, so it should be avoided while its source is unclear.
