The questioner : What is the right of a stepmother upon her husband's sons after the father's death? What are the rights incumbent upon them?
The Shaykh : You mean these sons are not her sons?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If there is no one to provide for her and support her except these sons, it is obligatory for them to do everything that is obligatory for her as their mother, but this is subject to the condition I mentioned earlier; namely, that she has no other relative, such as a brother, an uncle, or a maternal uncle, and that these relatives, despite their kinship, are wealthy and financially capable. In that case, it is upon these sons of her husband to take care of her needs and all her affairs.
