What content you can share with Family Sharing.

You can share content that you purchase from Apple including music, movies, tv shows, apps, and books. You can also share your Apple subscriptions including Apple One. If the subscription is an individual or student subscription, upgrade your subscription to a family plan. If a subscription is shareable, you see a Share with Family option when you go to Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions and tap the subscription.

Before sharing your subscription with others, you'll have to sign up for Apple Music's Family Plan. The subscription costs $16.99 per month, as opposed to the regular $10.99 subscription.
