Is Tête de Moine Cheese Halal?

MUSHBOOH

This cheese contains cuajo (rennet), and the label does not say whether it is microbial or from a halal-slaughtered animal; a microbial or vegetarian-rennet declaration 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 uncertain cheese should be avoided.
