What is the ruling on naming animals after prophets and messengers, such as naming a donkey "Ya‘qub"? Is it permissible to name children "Israel"?

The Fatwa's summary: Naming children after prophets is encouraged. However, it is not permissible to name an animal after a prophet. It is known that during the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he had a donkey named Ya'fur, not Ya'qub.
