Question:
Naming [people] with the names of animals, like 'Iyad ibn Hamar?
Answer:
This is one of the customs of the Arabs in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). They used to name [people] "Himar" (donkey) and "Jahsh" (foal). The Arabs today name [people] "Jahsh" and "Himar," and they name [people] "Thawr" (bull). However, it is better not to name [people] with the names of animals.
