Chapter 27
Laws Relating to Animals on Shabbath and Yom Tov
LEADING AN ANIMAL OR ALLOWING IT TO PERFORM A FORBIDDEN ACTIVITY
14.a. 1) It is forbidden to lend or hire out an animal to a non-Jew, even a horse intended for riding, if there is a fear that he will work with it on Shabbath or carry a burden on it in reshuth ha-rabbim or carmelith.
2) It is irrelevant when one delivers the animal to the non-Jew, even if it is on the previous Sunday
14.b. 1) One may lend or hire out an animal to a non-Jew, notwithstanding the fact that he will not prevent it from going out with a burden (as defined in paragraph 7 above) in a yard which is a reshuth ha-yachid.
2) This is so even if the yard is owned in common by two or more Jews and there is no eiruv. (See Chapter 17, paragraphs 11 to 13.)
3) The animal may be lent to the non-Jew even on Shabbath.
