Is it permissible to eat cheese made from rennet extracted from a pig's stomach?
It is not permissible to eat or use cheeses extracted from anything mixed with any part of a pig, because it is an impure and forbidden abomination, as stated in the Almighty's saying: "Say, 'I do not find in what has been revealed to me anything forbidden to eat for an eater who eats it, except that it be a dead animal or spilled blood or the flesh of swine — for indeed, that is an abomination — or what is defiantly disobedient, offered to other than Allah.'"
