Is French Emmental Cheese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It contains coagulating enzymes, meaning rennet, and the label does not confirm a halal or microbial source; a microbial or vegetarian-rennet note 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: rennet should come from a halal source, so this cheese should be avoided while its source is unclear.
