What actions can we take if someone is openly discussing their sins, fully aware that it is prohibited in Islam?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is not permissible to encourage sinful acts through discussing it in public which can make people think that it is normal. We should remind the person who is doing that to avoid it and keep it between him and God.

I have a dilemma regarding marriage. I desire to get married, but I am concerned it may distract me from my devotion to Allah. Given that marriage is encouraged in Islam, how can it be approached to strengthen faith instead of weakening it?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

In no way does marriage weaken faith. Rather the exact opposite. Marriage is half of religion, and the Prophetic (s.a.w.) hadith says. 

It's just a matter of managing your life, your time, your self-discipline and your spiritual growth. 

And Allah knows best
I have a proposal from a Catholic man who wants to convert to Islam and has family support. Are there any restrictions regarding his family, him, me, or our future children in this situation?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

Congratulations on your proposal. If he meets the right requirements for a spouse, and there is compatibility, and families are happy, go ahead. 

No, there are no restrictions, other than the basic shar'i matters, like halal food, no alcohol, etc. Besides this, you and him can visit them in Christmas, and be with them, like any other family.

Is there any connection between Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" painting and Islam or Shi'ism?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Sura Al-Ma'ida سورة المائدة  has mentioned the request of the disciples of Jesus to get a table of food from the sky. ( Verse 112, 113, 114 and 115 ). Allah Has Granted them what they asked.for. We can not say whether what is known among Nazaratenes  as Last Supper is the same table of food which was granted by Allah, or another. Some scholars say that is the same. After all, the Quranic fact is clear that the disciples of Jesus have requested a table of food from the sky and Allah Has Granted them what they requested.

Wassalam.
