Question

I read in an article about haraam things that as 'Renet' is used in all the cheeses, it is prohibited to use cheese. I use Nurpur Butter and Cheese which is manufactured in Pakistan. Am I allowed to eat these? Apart from that some people say that as 'pepsin' is used in Pepsi and other cola bottles, it is haraam to drink them. Pepsin, they say is made from young pig blood. Is this true? Also, is pig fat used in lipsticks? Please help. Jazakallah!

We are based in South Africa.

We advise you consult your local Ulama or any reliable Halaal organization in Pakistan to advise you on local Halaal/Haraam products.
