“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the case of a badanah that gives birth; if it is permissible to milk it. He (the Imam) said, ‘You can milk it without harming its young. You then can slaughter both of them.’ I asked, ‘Can its milk be used for drinking?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, you can do so and give to others.’”
