Accumulating interest money

Q:

1. Is it permissible to use interest earned on a bank account to donate to charity?

2. If so, can you then invest the interest earned into a separate bank account so as to let it accumulate so an even bigger amount can be donated in charity?

3. If not, what are some of the many ways in which one can dispose of interest received?

Paying income tax with interest money

Q: I live in India, and employed in a company. I get my salary in cheque which would be deposited to my 'saving account in the bank'. It generates interest after every two or three couple of months according to the norms. I pay income tax on my salary and if the interest that is generated reaches a particular amount then I have to pay tax on that also. My question is: Can I use that interest amount in exchange of the income tax I pay?

Eating from interest money

Q: I'm confused about what is meant when "food bought from riba is haraam". I currently have some money from a loan I took out that has interest on it (I was under a lot of pressure from my family and got yelled at for trying to avoid the loan). I was wondering, does all the food bought from this money automatically become haraam to consume because the loan is haraam? If so, I plan on just leaving the unnecessary leftover money in the bank until I have halal earnings. Because if I empty out my bank account trying to return this money, lol can't even imagine what my family would do to me. But yeah, I feel guilty about this loan but I was practically forced into this when I started getting ridiculed for trying to stay halal. So my other question is, wouldn't the sin fall on the person who pressured me into paying riba rather than me?
