Is Smoked Processed Cheese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The cheese contains rennet, but the label does not state whether it is halal or microbial; a microbial or halal-rennet declaration would settle it.
Hanafi — their opinion: rennet is not made impure by the animal's death, so the cheese is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so it should be avoided here.
