Is Original Cheese Halal?

MUSHBOOH

It is cheese made with rennet, but the label does not confirm whether that rennet is microbial or from an Islamically slaughtered animal; a microbial, vegetable-rennet, or halal mark would settle it.

Hanafi — their opinion: rennet remains permissible even when the animal's death was not confirmed, so it is allowed.

Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so it should be avoided when that source is unclear.
