Animals (629)

Chapter 27

Laws Relating to Animals on Shabbath and Yom Tov

USING AN ANIMAL

18.a. One should not use an animal to carry a burden,

1) even in a place where there is an eiruv, so that the animal is not performing a forbidden activity, and

2) even for the purposes of Shabbath or Yom Tov.

18.b. There are two reasons for this:

1) One would thereby be using the animal.

2) Using an animal to carry a burden is a workaday activity inconsistent with the sanctity of the Shabbath.

19.a. 1) There is nothing wrong with allowing one’s animal to be ridden by a non-Jewish employee (who can be expected to obey the instructions referred to below), even in a place which is a reshuth ha-rabbim in the full sense of the expression.

2) This is because a person who can walk by himself is not considered to be a burden that one must not let one’s animal carry.

19.b. 1) One must, however, instruct him not to put a burden (as defined in paragraph 7 above) on the animal in a place where carrying articles about is prohibited, and one must prevent him from doing so.

2) Otherwise one will be in breach of one’s obligation to stop one’s animal from performing a forbidden activity. (See paragraph 3 above.)
