The Lineage of Children Born Before Islam Without Marriage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from France says: There is a man and a woman who live together without marriage, and they have had children. They have now entered Islam. His question is: What is the ruling regarding the children? Are they attributed to their parents?

Answer:
No, they are attributed to the mother who gave birth to them. They are attributed to the one who bore them and to no one else. Yes.
