Just because someone brings his ex-wives (according to some sects), who are ALSO confessing Christ does not automatically make one suspect of not being a Christian. Is it a sin to share one’s baptism with those that you have been so close to for years? Is it a sin for the husband to have shared Christ with his wives and children (or visa-versa)? This is a new one on me, “You are guilty of not being a Christian because you evangelized the lost.” Is it suspect when a family comes to Christ all at once? (do some studies in missionolgy before answering)

I would not begin by “questioning” (maybe you are using the term “questioning” different than I (ex-cop here) someone's conversion, but, as with any other baptismal candidate, I would inquire of their salvation experiences and see what their faith entailed. I would also ask them to explain their sect(s) to me so I would have a better understanding of where they are coming from culturally. If satisfactory, I would see what they have been taught concerning "the family," since they have made a profession of faith. After all how would you expect them to understand and follow Christian principles, if they were not taught (Eph. 4:11 ff)? We have the Scriptures on family because Paul and others, through the Holy Spirit, saw the churches lack of proper theology being demonstrated in the same (Eph. 5:22-6:4; 1 Cor. 7, 1 Pet. 3:1 ff, et. al.). If church members need to be taught concerning the family – how much more someone coming from a different faith!

Your example has nothing to do with the original scenario, but instead deals with someone who would abstain from baptism by a Christian Church as opposed to the scenario which states, “a Muslim …. desires to be baptized.”
