Is Pecorino Romano Halal?
MUSHBOOH
Pecorino Romano contains lamb rennet, and the label does not confirm Islamic slaughter or a microbial source. A microbial or vegetable-rennet statement, vegetarian claim, or official halal mark would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: calf or lamb 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-slaughtered animal or a microbial source, so it should be avoided.
