Words like "her", "my", "their" in Arabic are suffixed to the word. For example the suffix ''-him'' (هم) means "their". So ''kufrihim'' (كُفْرِهِمْ) is "their disbelief". The word بِإِيمَٰنِهِنَّ (bi-imaa'''ni'''hinna, "of their faith") is genitive, because the root letter is in the middle and the ''-hinna'' is just a suffix meaning (feminine) "their". This word ended on ''-na'', but it had ''-ni-'' in the middle (the root letter) and it is genitive, so don't just look at the last letter of the word to determine whether it is genitive.
