Is Colby Cheese Halal?
HALAL
It contains enzymes, which may be animal rennet, and the label does not confirm a halal or microbial source. A microbial or vegetable-rennet note, vegetarian claim, or halal mark would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: calf rennet remains pure even without confirmed Islamic slaughter, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so this doubtful product should be avoided.
