Law: If the child of an unbeliever was
captured (imprisoned[1]),
and he was still in the Darul Harb, when his father entered the Darul Islam and
became a Muslim, then the child will be regarded as a Muslim. In other words,
even if he dies in a Darul Harb, he will be given Ghusl and Kafan, and his
Janaazah Namaaz will be performed. [Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg.831]
Law: If the child was brought captured with
both his parents, and one from amongst them became a Muslim, or if the child
was at an age of understanding and himself became Muslim, then in both cases he
will be regarded as a Muslim. [Tanweer ul Absaar vol.1 pg.832]
Law: If the child of an unbeliever has been
captured with both parents, but both of them die there in the Darul Harb, then
he will be regarded as a Muslim. If an insane (adult, i.e. one who reached age
of puberty) has been captured, then the ruling regarding him is the same as
that of a child. [Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg.832]
Law: If the child of a Muslim was born from
a kaafira (an unbelieving female), and she was not married to him, (i.e.) the
child is from adultery, then in this case his Janaazah will be performed. [Raddul
Muhtar]

Note: In all the rules mentioned with regards to capturing or
imprisoning, the rulings are regarding times of war and not in ordinary
circumstances where someone is just allowed to go out and capture and imprison
anyone or their child, even if it may be an unbeliever.
