I met someone who is interested in converting to Islam. She is a Christian Orthodox and is scared to convert because their religion says that they will go to hell if they do. How can I reassure her that Islam is the truth and help her learn more?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Real Christians are those who follow the real teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ gave the good news of the Messenger after him who is called Ahmad. Old bibles have this fact despite changes made many to hide it in other versions of bible.

Islam is the real message from God Almighty which is sent to all human beings. Jesus Christ wants people to follow the message of God. More details can found in many specialised websites. If she has specific questions she is welcome to write.

In Islam can we give Sadaqah in the form of money to buy lunch for a poor Christian man?

Islam is the religion of mercy.

Islam teaches us that we are responsible to others. We must be kind to God's creatures. Whenever the Qur'an advises us to donate, it does not make it specific to Muslims.

Yes, if you have to choose between a poor believer and an infidel, it is preferable to help the believer.
My grandmother, who is a religious Greek orthodox Christian, has claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary. Is it possible in Islam for someone to see her in a vision?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

What evidence does she have that she saw Virgin Mary herself or what she imagined as Virgin Mary?

Many people think and imagine according to their thinking. We can not take their claim as reality.

Am I allowed to do Mut’ah with a woman who says she believes in a higher power but does not identify as Jewish, Christian, or Muslim?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala
 

Temporary marriage can only be performed with a woman who is from Ahlul Kitab, i.e. she is either a Muslim, a Christian or a Jew. 

If she is of any other faith, or just believes in a supreme being, but does not follow any of the 3 Abrahamic religions, then you cannot do mut'ah with her.

And Allah knows best.
