Question

If I didn’t know my father my whole life and he passes away do I say Kaddish?

Answer

 

 A son says on his “biologic” father Kaddish even if he does not know him, because he did him a favor by bringing him to this world and the life of the world to come, and by doing so you cause him to return a great favor to bring his soul to the life of the world to come. And you must put all other considerations aside, even if you are right in them, but from a purely halachic point of view, you must say Kaddish on him, since he is your father.

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
