The Qadi Kamal Al Din Musa bin Ahmed received a question sent from the Barr Sa'd Al Din, the fatwa was requested in 923 AH/1517 CE"If an adult is taken captive, then converts to Islam after being captured, and he has young children in Dar Al Harb, and the Imam chooses slavêry for them or rules that they become slaàves, then he converts to Islam, do the young children follow his religion ? Scholars differ on this issue in Dar Al Harb.And if the children mentioned are captured afterward, should their Islam be judged according to their father or not ?Is the difference between this question and the saying that: if an adult converts to Islam before being captured, his life, property, and young children are protected, noting that scholars did not mention protection for young children if they were captured and the father converted after capture ?The conclusion of the matter: if a Muslim ***** has a young child captured, should the child’s Islam be recognized, or should they not be freed ? We ask for your guidance and reward you. Please give a thorough answer, because this issue has caused widespread concern in the Bar Sa‘d Al Din."Source: فتاوى الكمال الرداد - full name: للفقيه كمال الدين موسى بن احمد بن ابي بكر
