Pearl of Wisdom

'This community acts upon the Book of Allah for a little while, then it acts upon the practice of the Prophet of Allah for a little while, then it acts upon its own opinion. And when they act based on their own opinion, they themselves go astray and lead others astray too.'

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.
