Answer
The word Muslim is derived from the root word, 'Islam' which means to obey. Every Prophet of Allah (Alayhis salaam) was obedient to Allah and carrying out His commands. Therefore, every prophet was a Muslim.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
