Laws Relating to Animals on Shabbath and Yom Tov

LEADING AN ANIMAL OR ALLOWING IT TO PERFORM A FORBIDDEN ACTIVITY

15. A Jew should not permit even an animal which he has hired or borrowed from a non-Jew to perform a forbidden activity, as long as the animal is in his custody.

16.a. As explained in paragraph 3 above, the obligation to prevent an animal from performing a forbidden activity applies also in the case of an animal owned in partnership by a Jew and a non-Jew.

16.b. Simply to allow the non-Jewish partner to work with the animal on Shabbath or Yom Tov, even solely on his own behalf, is prohibited.

16.c. 1) It may, however, be possible to arrange matters in such a way that the Jew can allow his non-Jewish partner to work with the animal on Shabbath or Yom Tov.

2) A duly qualified halachic authority should be consulted as to the manner in which such an arrangement can be made.
