If a non-Muslim belligerent seizes a Muslim female slave, engages in relations with her, and subsequently converts to Islam, she becomes his property, and she is considered an Umm Walad (mother of his child) to him. Ahmad explicitly stated this ruling because she is considered property, which is analogous to all other forms of property.
