The answer

The Bedouin who lives in theadia, far from knowledge and scholars, his imamate for the city dwellers is valid if he meets the conditions of imamate. However, some scholars prefer the city dweller over him due to the prevalence of harshness and lack of knowledge among the people of the desert, or due to the Maliki school's dislike of a Bedouin leading a city dweller in prayer because of his abandonment of Friday and congregational prayers.
