Pearl of Wisdom

'Prayer is the pillar of religion and its likeness is as the likeness of the pillar of a tent. If the pillar is stably fixed, the pegs and the ropes remain stable, but if the pillar inclines and breaks, neither peg nor rope remains fixed.'

Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir [as]

al-Mahasin, v. 1, p. 116, no. 117

Subject:	Halal cheese?
Question:	Hi, How is there Halal cheese, what does it mean by this?
Answer:	Salaam alaykum, Yes, there are halal and haram cheeses. Cheese can be made by putting a najis item into the cheese culture in order to make different types of cheeses and provide various flavors. One would have to refer to the maraja's rulings regarding each specific instance or their general rulings regarding najasat.
