Can a Muslim help me with an answer please?

Asalamu alaykum I am a convert to Islam since 2011 but I had a child before accepting Islam. My husband has been acting as a father to her for over a year but her real dad has recently asked me for contact. The dad isn't a Muslim hes a Sikh so what does Islam say here? Should I give him the contact? Is it an obligation for her to know him?

    Waleikum as-Salaam.

    In Islam, it is the father's right to know his children, but as the mother, it is your duty to make sure that the child does not become confused in their faith because of the different (non-Islamic) religion of the father.
