โAnyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-comeโ (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)
Question:
May one milk a cow on Shabbat?
Answer:
Included in Mefarek is the prohibition of expressing human milk or milking an animal into
a container. [1]
That being said, it is prohibited to milk a cow either by hand or by machine if the milk is retained for use. However, if the animal is in pain from engorgement, it is permitted to ask a non-Jew to milk it even if the milk will be retained. The milk may not be consumed on Shabbat,[2] and it is also considered muktzeh. [3] If there is no non-Jew available, a Jewish person may milk the cow himself in a manner that the milk goes to waste.[4]
