What is the authenticity of the hadith (The child of zina is in the Fire)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: I read in one of the books a hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he says:
The child of zina is in the Fire ولدُ الزنا في النار
Is this hadith authentic?

The Shaykh : This is not authentic. The child of zina is like any other child; if he does good, it is for himself, and if he does evil, it is against himself.
and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another ولا تزر وازرة وزر أخرى
[Al-An'am 6:164]
However, the thing to be feared is that it is reported in a hadith:
That if a man commits zina, his family will commit zina أن من زنا زنى أهله
Thus, a person's chastity becomes a cause for the chastity of his family, including his wives, sons, daughters, and others. Yes.
