Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 1358, is Zoroastrianism considered a heavenly religion?
Answer:
No, it does not appear so. It is said that they have the semblance of a book, the book of the Majus, and therefore the jizyah is taken from them, just as it is taken from the Jews and the Christians, because they have the semblance of a book. They say they had a book that was taken up, but the correct view is that this Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) took it from them, taking the jizyah from them, whether they had a book or not. Allah knows best. However, the Sunnah of the Messenger is that it is taken from them. Yes.

Every child is born with a true faith (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone) but his parents convert him to Judaism or to Christianity or to Magainism
