Calling baba to their stepfather

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

As Salamu Alaykum, could you please tell me if it is permissible for my step children to call me buba meaning farther? Jazakullahu Khairun

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The stepchildren may call the stepfather baba out of respect and not regarding him as their biological father.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
