Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Was the idol al-'Uzay for al-Aws and al-Khazraj, or was it for Quraysh? They used to exalt it, as Abu Sufyan said on the day of Uhud: "We have al-'Uzay, and you have no al-'Uzay."

Answer:
I have heard that al-'Uzay was for the people of Makkah, for Quraysh and their neighbors, and Abu Sufyan was from Quraysh.
