where's the 'ask a scholar' option?

I wonder if it is a strictly scholarly issue...
...Or a development and application of a new form of logic?
For isntance, can it even be considered an animal or will it be considered as a crop?
And if it is considered animal, how do you do dhabiha to something that was never alive (in the sense of an animal - the cells are alive, but that is different).
Questions like these are difficult, moreso even than the question whether a Wooly Mamoth burger would be halaal (Atleast that has modern contemporaries that can be used for ijtihad).

Just to add, currently people eat quorn as a meat substitute. That I think is like a fungus though.

Alot of people ive spoken to said they mainly had a problem with the fact that the stem vells were taken from a ded cow. So thry werent too sure if that was halal.

This concept just sounds TOO wrong.
Can't digest this.
Theres a number of issues here:
1) taking stem cells from a dead cow? Was it slaughtered in a halal way?
2) The stem cells are used to grow the meat. If theyre just growing the muscle of a particular animal can we really consider it to have been an actual animal at all and therefore is it even meat?
3) Can anythng grown in a lab be safe to eat??
And I heard as it were, the noise of thunder. One of the four beasts saying come and see and I beheld, a pale horse. And his name that sat on him was Death... and Hell followed with him.
Also beetroot juice is used which has a condition for being halal - I googled it yesterday can't remember what it was.
So I would stay away...when they're possibly on our shelves in 10-20 years time

stuff like halal and haram is definitely a thing to be left to scholars.
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
