The questioner:
The hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 2658d Does not the foundling who is found in the abode of the disbelievers fall under this, such that he becomes a Muslim?
The Shaykh:
No, it does not apply to you. It does not apply to them, because the ruling for the children of the disbelievers is that they follow their ruling; their ruling follows them. If disbeliever workers came to us to work, and they brought their wives and their children with them, would their children be ruled as Muslims? No, the child follows his father in religion. Yes.
The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success
The Shaykh:
No, you do not take the children of the English and the Americans who are here. This is not permissible. The child of a disbeliever follows the disbeliever. Yes.
The hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
No child is born but upon Fitra
مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ إِلاَّ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِThe Shaykh:
No, it does not apply to you. It does not apply to them, because the ruling for the children of the disbelievers is that they follow their ruling; their ruling follows them. If disbeliever workers came to us to work, and they brought their wives and their children with them, would their children be ruled as Muslims? No, the child follows his father in religion. Yes.
