Finding out who one's biological father is

Q: I am 60 years old and I just learned that my father was not my biological father. My mother is still alive and never told this to me. I learned about it this week from my sister. Should I ask my mother about. The man who I thought was my dad died many years ago. I love my mother and have a very good relationship with her. Please advise what steps I should take.

A: I feel that you should leave this out. You may ask your sister who is your biological father.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
