Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
Dear sister, first of all, we thank and praise Allaah Who guided you to Islam and we ask Him to make you firm and steadfast on His Religion until the Day you meet Him.
We advise you to seek beneficial knowledge, perform good deeds and befriend righteous and pious women, as these are the best things that help a Muslim woman remain steadfast on her religion.
Also, may Allaah reward you for being keen on preserving your religion and that of your daughter and we ask Him to make you firm on it.
You should know that this daughter is a Muslim as she follows you in religion because you are the parent who has the best religion as we clarified in Fatwa 81957. Therefore, we advise you to take care of her and nurture her on goodness and teach her the matters of her religion and you should ignore what your parents are raging against you. Also, you should correct the wrong conceptions about Islam that your parents and her father may tell her.
Furthermore, we advise you to be patient with the harm that you may encounter from your parents, and if you fear to be tempted in your religion, then you should immediately migrate to a Muslim country and do your best in this regard and flee you country to save your religion; for more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 86405. If you are not able to migrate now, then you should be patient until Allaah makes a way out for you.
Finally, if you fear that the father of your daughter may corrupt her religion, then it is permissible for you to prevent her from contacting him, and the same applies in regard to your parents. For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 133848.
Allaah Knows best.
