Jokingly telling one's friend "Jesus of Bethlehem"
Question
What is the ruling if someone jokingly tells his friend "Jesus of Bethlehem" because his friends says Jesus when he is surprised by something?

This is ignorance of the worst order. He should make taubah and correct himself.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
