Can we have parmesan cheese?

The sheikh states there are two views, and he sides with the permissibility of parmesan cheese based on a historical precedent, but notes other madhhabs disagree. cheese, rennet, halal, permissibility, madhhab, fiqh rulings https://www.youtube.com/shorts/k96mAtnCDUw
So two views on this particular issue. Personally I'll side with you that it's permissible and that's based on the fact that the Sahaba they used to consume cheese from the Zoroastrians and they wouldn't have slaughtered the animals in a halal way and also they mentioned that because the the part or the lining of the animal which contains rennet and it doesn't die even when the animal is slaughtered so based on that inshallah it's permissible but as I mentioned there are two views a number of other scholars and three or the other four madhhab apart from the hanafi madhab would also say that it would not be permissible.

There are two scholarly views: one permits rennet because it comes from a non-living part of an animal and based on narrations about the Companions, while the other prohibits it due to the animal not being Islamically slaughtered and differing interpretations of those narrations.
