Should the Prophet (peace be upon him) be referred to as a "Bedouin"?
Describing the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in a manner unfitting for him, or maligning him, or diminishing him, is outright disbelief. This is because it is a falsification of facts and an aggression against the best of creation, and only someone devoid of manners, character, and faith would engage in it. Scholars have unanimously agreed that whoever insults the Prophet (peace be upon him), or faults him, or attributes a deficiency to him, or diminishes him, shall be executed. The use of the term "Bedouinism" or describing him as a "Bedouin" is an explicit diminishment and a clear fault, because Bedouinism is a blameworthy description, whereas he (peace be upon him) was taught by the Lord of the earth and the heavens, and he was from the people of settled towns, not from the desert.
