Is it permissible to rent out a female slave for nursing if she has a child?
General Chapter

Book of Leasing
Primary text
If the female slave has a child, it is not permissible to rent her out for nursing unless her milk is in excess of what is required for her own child. This restriction is because the right to her milk belongs to her child, and the master only has rights over what remains after the child's needs are met.
