Is it permissible to rent out a cheetah, goshawk, or falcon for hunting?

Primary text
The rental of a cheetah (fahd), goshawk (bazzi), or falcon (saqr) for hunting is permissible, provided the duration is specified. This permissibility is established because the purpose is a lawful benefit (manfa'ah mubahah), and since loaning such animals for use is permitted, renting them is likewise permissible, analogous to renting a beast of burden (dabba).
