1951. Dahhāk bin Fairuz Dailami narrated that his father said: "I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! I have become Muslim and I am married to two sisters.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Divorce whichever of them you want.'" (Hasan)
1951 - حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَهْبٍ الْجَيْشَانِيِّ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الضَّحَّاكَ بْنَ فَيْرُوزَ الدَّيْلَمِيَّ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ وَتَحْتِي أُخْتَانِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِي: «طَلِّقْ أَيَّتَهُمَا شِئْتَ»

If a person is already married in accordance with his religion, before embracing Islam, and then the wife and husband become Muslims, their first marriage bond will be valid; they are not required to remarry. If a man is married, before embracing Islam, to such a woman with whom his marriage is unlawful according to Islam, then after embracing Islam he will have to separate from her. Before embracing Islam, the children born from this sort of marriage will be regarded lawful, and they will share the inheritance of the father.
