Is Grana Padano Cheese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It contains caglio (rennet), traditionally from a calf’s stomach, but the source and slaughter are not stated; a microbial or vegetarian-rennet note 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 it should be avoided here.
