Question:
If a son embraces Islam and his parents are not Muslims, or are not Muslims, if a son embraces Islam and his parents are from among the non-Muslims, the People of the Book, is the owner of the bed considered his father?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. There is no doubt that before he embraced Islam, he was the son of the disbeliever before he embraced Islam. As for after he embraced Islam, it is not permissible for a disbeliever to marry a Muslim woman; the marriage is invalid, and the rulings of marriage do not apply to it. But if he had a son before Islam, he remains his son, even if he is a disbeliever, and this is the one who embraced Islam. Yes.
