Interest bearing investments

Q: On one of your responses on this site, you have mentioned that if a person has come into possession of interest he should distribute it to poor and needy people. If a business is forced (the business has to comply as it is a requirement of the non-muslim government and will not be allowed to operate should it refuse to do so - the interest is earned by keeping cash as securities in a fixed account) to conclude an investment that will generate a substantial interest return, such that the entity decides to employ a full time dedicated employee in order to ensure that the interest money is disbursed properly to various poor and needy organisations, is it permissible to remunerate the said employee from the interest funds bearing in mind that the employee is a Muslim and not zakaatable? Does the money become halaal for that person?

Calculating zakaat on investments

Q: I am a widow since four months. I have two daughters which are married. I don't have any brothers. In the presence of my husband there were 13 lacs deposited in saving. Every month I receive 10 thousand from income which is not enough for monthly expenditure that's why my husband's elder brother supports me. So basically my question to you is that am I supposed to give zakat on the 13 lacs?

Losing investors money

Q: Eight years back my khala and four years back my mamu had given me money to invest in business. Three years back I got cheated by someone and I lost all money even my capital. I never told my relatives regarding these losses so far. They never asked me about account just casually they ask how business is running and I say its ok. Between these three years and before that I gave them money if they demanded. I have niyyyat and full faith in almighty Allah Ta'ala will help me. If I made profit I will try to pay them their principle amount and will add profit with it. So sir I am working on some project if almighty make it happen and Insha Allah I get money how to share profit beside principle capital with my relatives.
