Hypothetically saying this doesn’t relate to me in any way, but lets say you are interested in a non-muslim girl and you guys are dating for a while and you guys get married and the girl converts. Would that still be counted as a sin to have had a relationship with her? If it is then what is a halal way to do this?

Of course! Dating and sexual relationships before marriage is a sin! Marrying someone like this without repenting is void. If a person wants to rectify this, they both must repent and express remorse and they must renew the marriage if he married her while still dating.

In Ramadan we friends go out to give iftar food to the needy on streets, those who are fasting. But, we see many who are not fasting but they line up to get the food which we are distributing for those who are fasting. We want fasting people to break their fast with the food that we give. If we give it to non-fasting people then wouldn’t that be wrong?

Fasting

No, it wouldn’t be wrong unless the money is specificity given for fasting people. Usually, you can’t verify who is fasting and who isn’t.
