Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is my father's wife considered like my mother after my mother died, meaning, does she have the right of a mother?
Answer:
She has the right to be treated with respect, but as for her having the right of a mother, no, she is not your mother; she is your father's wife, and you are a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her, so be kind to her. Being kind to her is also being kind to your father, being kind to her husband, who is your father. Yes.
