Is Emmental Cheese Halal?
HALAL
It contains rennet, and the label does not confirm whether it is halal or microbial; a microbial or vegetable-rennet declaration, vegetarian claim, or halal mark would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: the 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 it should be avoided unless confirmed.
