Is the child of ‘zinaa’ considered the man’s? If such an incident occurred between kufar, and child eventually became Muslim, should the now Muslim child be named someone ibn so-and-so ?

Answer:

An illegitimate child is not considered as the child of the biological father as that recognition may lead to complacency to an adulterous relationship.

If the child becomes a Muslim, he/she may adopt a single name.
