The answer

Scholars have differed on the permissibility of hiring an animal to take its milk. Some have forbidden it, while others have permitted it. The relied-upon view among the Hanbalis is prohibition, contrary to Sheikh Taqi al-Din Ibn Taymiyyah, who chose permissibility. According to the view of permissibility, the rulings of general leasing apply to this rental, such as knowing the duration and the rent, and that the leased item is not guaranteed except in cases of transgression or negligence.
