Paying a zakaat collector from the zakaat funds

Q: I have read in Ma’ariful Quraan (English) under the verse of "wal Aamileena alayha" that zakaat can be given to those collecting the Zakaat on behalf of the state.

Nowadays, many organisations in non-Muslim countries also collect zakaat on behalf of the organisation and then distribute it to its recipients.

My question is: Can the person appointed to collect zakaat on behalf of the organization be paid his salary from the zakaat money?

Undergoing treatment by an Aamil

Q: My question is regarding treatment for sehr. I have been to doctors and blood tests, all clear Alhamdulillah. I thereafter wanted to go to an aamil for treatment and searched the internet regarding this, I read that by going to someone who uses jinn one can loose their Iman and sometimes may be equivalent to shirk. Some Aamils that I was referred to can apparently treat without having to see you by taking your name and your mother's name. Regarding this, I've read that it's not allowed because our lineage is from our father's side and in taking your mother's name you destroy your lineage. Mufti saheb please help me with this matter as I am in desperate need of help and am afraid as I don't want to loose my Iman.

Marrying a married woman

Q: I have a girl that I love, we're both Muslims. She is married to a family very close to mine though we can still marry because people do it before, but now she is saying that we cannot marry because our families are too close. She gave birth to a girl in another family before re-marrying to this current family... I don't want to commit zina. What should I do?
