Addressing a raised son as "father" or "my son"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If he has a son who was raised in his care, and this son calls him "my father," then the matter is valid.

The Shaykh:
And even if he said what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding al-Mughirah, it is also valid; the custom is that the elder says to the younger, "my son."
