Is Parmigiano Cheese Halal?

MUSHBOOH

This aged Parmigiano uses rennet, but the label does not say whether it is microbial or from an Islamically slaughtered animal. A microbial- or vegetable-rennet note, vegetarian claim, or halal mark would settle it.

Hanafi, Maliki — their opinion: the rennet becomes part of a new substance as the cheese sets, so it is allowed.

Shafi, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should be halal-sourced or microbial; because this is unconfirmed, it should be avoided.
