The answer

The daughters from marriage with a Buddhist are his legitimate daughters, even if the marriage contract was invalid, due to the husband's belief in its validity. The marriage contract between them must be annulled immediately. If the wife embraces Islam, then it is permissible for them to renew the contract with valid conditions.
