The evidence that the original inhabitants have more rights than the newcomers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Are there any proofs in the Islamic Shari'ah that support the claim of those who say: that it should be the Muslims who live in a certain place, who are the settlers there from long ago, or who are the original inhabitants, that they are given more rights than the Muslim newcomers? Are there any proofs for this, and what is the ruling on one who does this?
There is nothing but the hadith of Mu'adh ibn Jabal: (He taught them that Allah has decreed for them a charity to be taken from their rich and returned to their poor) So he began with their poor; because they are more deserving than others, as they are among the neighbors, and because their souls are attached to the wealth of the rich among them. This is what I know in this matter.
