Reminding of the ta'ut and its feminization in the saying of Allah the Exalted: that they worship it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Allah the Exalted said:
But those who have avoided Taghut, lest they worship itوَالَّذِينَ اجْتَنَبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ أَن يَعْبُدُوهَا
[Az-Zumar 39:17]
Is the term ta'ut feminine or masculine, given Allah's saying: they worship it?

Answer:
Yes, the ta'ut is masculine and feminine. Here it came as feminine, which indicates a deficiency, because feminization is a deficiency. Yes, feminization is a deficiency. The polytheists worship a vessel
They call upon instead of Him none but female [deities], and theyيَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلَّا إِنَاثًا وَإِن يَدْعُونَ
[An-Nisa 4:117]
like al-Lat and al-'Uzza, except for vessels to which they call the angels and claim they are daughters of Allah, so they worship females, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
