Orphanhood for one whose mother died before reaching puberty

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person’s mother dies while he is below the age of puberty, is he considered an orphan?

Answer:
This is the beast that is considered an orphan if its mother dies. As for a human, if his father dies while he is young, he becomes an orphan. Yes.
