Jewish Halacha
The laws of Shabbat
Siman 246
Siman 246 is a section of the Mishna Berura Yomi that discusses the leasing of animals to non-Jews. It states that it is prohibited to lease an animal to a non-Jew for use on Shabbat, but it may be permitted under certain conditions.
Explanation
It is prohibited to lease an animal to a non-Jew for use on Shabbat because animals are commanded to rest on Shabbat.
It may be permitted to lease an animal if the non-Jew accepts responsibility for the animal if it is stolen, robbed, dies, or changes in value.
