MUSHBOOH
This cheese contains rennet, but the label does not state whether it is microbial or from halal-slaughtered animals; a microbial/vegetarian rennet note or halal mark would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: calf rennet remains pure even without 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 unless confirmed.
