Are the Bedouin given a share of the fay'?

The questioner : If the imam sees that it is beneficial for the Bedouin to remain in their places so that the cities do not become overcrowded and the lands become inhabited, are they given a share of the fay'?

The Shaykh : The fay' is for the general interests of the Muslims. If he sees that their remaining in their places is more beneficial for them and for the Muslims, they are given a share of the fay'. As for the ghanimah, no one is given a share except those who participated in the jihad.
