The Shaykh: Yes.
Al-Halabi : He saysThe questioner : A Christian couple, may Allah guide them to Islam, is there an obligation on them to change their marriage contract?
The Shaykh : No. When the husband of Zaynab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu al-Rabi' ibn al-'As, converted to Islam, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not renew his contract with his daughter Zaynab; rather, they remained a couple as they had been before.
