Question:
May Allah make you knowledgeable, O Shaykh. It is not called a taghut (false object of worship) unless he is content with it.
Answer:
If he is content with it, yes. As for the one who is not content, he is not a taghut. Yes, their mothers were taghut and they worshipped them, and the righteous ones, their mothers were taghut and they worshipped them. Only the one who worships while being content becomes a taghut. We ask Allah for well-being.
