Hiring a stallion for service was forbidden by the majority of Hanafis, the sounder view among the Shafi'is and the basic Hanbali position; the Malikis allowed it for a fixed time or a fixed number of times, but not until the female conceives; the Hanbalis allowed it in cases of need, and the Maliki view matches the weaker Shafi'i opinion {cite:fiqh-mawsua-kuwaitiyya-noor-v3 p.11601} {cite:fiqh-mawsua-kuwaitiyya-noor-v3 p.11602}.
