Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to apply the statement of Allah the Exalted,[At-Tawbah 9:97], to the Bedouins today?
Answer:
This description applies to some of the Bedouins, not to all of them,[At-Tawbah 9:99], but the majority of the Bedouins are [At-Tawbah 9:97], [At-Tawbah 9:98] so the Bedouins are not all the same.
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to apply the statement of Allah the Exalted,
The bedouins are stronger in disbelief and hypocrisy
الْأَعْرَابُ أَشَدُّ كُفْرًا وَنِفَاقًاAnswer:
This description applies to some of the Bedouins, not to all of them,
But among the bedouins are some who believe in Allah and the Last Day and consider what they spend as means of nearness to Allah and of [obtaining] invocations of the Messenger.
وَمِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَيَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنفِقُ قُرُبَاتٍ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَصَلَوَاتِ الرَّسُولِstronger in disbelief and hypocrisy and more likely not to know the limits of what [laws] Allah has revealed to His
أَشَدُّ كُفْرًا وَنِفَاقًا وَأَجْدَرُ أَلَّا يَعْلَمُوا حُدُودَ مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِAnd among the bedouins are some who consider what they spend as a loss and await for you turns of misfortune.
وَمِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنفِقُ مَغْرَمًا وَيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ الدَّوَائِرَ
