Is a daughter born of an illicit relationship with a non-Muslim woman 17 years ago, who practices Christianity and is acknowledged by her father, considered a legitimate daughter entitled to inheritance?

If the daughter is born ofZina (unlawful sexual intercourse), she is not to be attributed to her father from Zina, according to Islamic law. Therefore, he does not inherit from her, nor does she inherit from him. This distinction in inheritance between a daughter born of Zina and one of legitimate lineage applies if the daughter is Muslim. However, if she is a disbeliever, she does not inherit under any circumstance.
