The ruling on describing a Muslim as a rustic or a villager
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek Allah’s forgiveness. If one of them says so-and-so is a rustic, or a villager, or from such-and-such a town, meaning in the way of belittling and mocking, is this included in the scope of the tongue, meaning is it a form of minor disbelief?
Answer:
And it is not included in the category of attacking lineages, but rather this falls under the category of belittling, looking down upon a Muslim. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says, “And do not insult one another,” meaning do not belittle one another. Looking down upon a Muslim is not permissible in any wording, but this is not from attacking lineages.
