Is Provolone Cheese Halal?

MUSHBOOH

This hard cheese uses rennet, but the label does not state whether it is microbial or from an Islamically slaughtered animal; a microbial or vegetable-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 this should be avoided until confirmed.
