Is Gruyere Cheese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
This hard cheese is set with rennet, but the label does not say whether it is microbial or from a halal-slaughtered animal; a microbial or vegetarian-rennet note would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari — their opinion: rennet remains pure even without confirmed Islamic slaughter, so the cheese is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so this cheese should be avoided unless its source is confirmed.
