Is it correct to define an orphan as one whose father or mother died before he reached puberty?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I have heard from some people that an orphan is one whose mother or father died before he reached puberty. Is this correct?

Answer:
If his mother died, no. These are animals. An animal is an orphan if its mother died while it was young. As for human beings, it is the one whose father died, because the father is the one who takes care of the child, earns for him, and looks after him. Yes.
