Ask Qul - Food & Drinks - Halal cheese?

Pearl of Wisdom

'The promise of a believer to his brother is a vow for which there is no [prescribed] penance, so he who breaks a promise has first broken his promise to Allah and subjects himself to His discontentment, as Allah says: O you who have faith! Why do you say what you do not do?

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]

al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 363, no. 1

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.
