If you are enclosing the question in quotation marks, you should include the question mark. It's like paraphrasing. You put in between the quote marks the actual words one said in the context it was said.

If you will not use the quotation marks, no need to put the question mark.

1) "Do you lie pie?" she asked.
2) She asked if you liked pie.

There is a question mark, but no comma.

"Do you like pie?" she asked.
