The answer

Whoever named the Prophet of Allah, Jesus, peace be upon him, as "Yasou‘" (Jesus) does not exit the fold of Islam, as long as he does not intend insult or disparagement, because the named entity is one and the same. Scholars have agreed that whoever insults a prophet, or demeans him, or attributes any deficiency to him, or diminishes his status; is a disbeliever. Muslims have unanimously agreed that whoever insults Allah, or one of His messengers, or rejects anything revealed by Allah, or kills a prophet; is a disbeliever. The ruling for whoever insults Allah’s prophets and angels, or treats them lightly, or disbelieves them, or denies them; is the same as the ruling for whoever insults our Prophet, peace be upon him.
