The urbanite belittling the Bedouin, and the reverse

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And we ruled for the Shaykh: Is the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) seeking the urbanite over the Bedouin, or seeking the Bedouin over the urbanite?

The Shaykh:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible for a believer to belittle another, whether he is a Bedouin or an urbanite. A believer does not belittle another, whether he is an urbanite or a Bedouin.
