Illegitimate children have the same rights as anyone else and like everyone else are judged according to their own deeds and not the deeds of their parents.
“… He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned…” [al-Baqarah 2:286]
“… no bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another…” [al-An’aam 6:164]
