Can I quote the FIDE LAWS OF CHESS Article 3.8 On Castling?
(FIDE is the international chess body,known by the acronym made by its initials in French, Federation Internationale des Echecs)
3.8 There are two different ways of moving the king, by:
moving to any adjoining square not attacked by one or more of the opponent`s pieces. The opponent`s pieces are considered to attack a square, even if such pieces are constrained from moving to that square because they would then leave or place their own king in check.
The opponent`s pieces are considered to attack a square, even if such pieces cannot themselves move.
or
castling`. This is a move of the king and either rook of the same colour on the same rank, counting as a single move of the king and executed as follows: the king is transferred from its original square two squares towards the rook, then that rook is transferred to the square the king has just crossed.
(1) The right for castling has been lost:
if the king has already moved, or
with a rook that has already moved
(2) Castling is prevented temporarily
if the square on which the king stands, or the square which it must cross, or the square which it is to occupy, is attacked by one or more of the opponent`s pieces.
if there is any piece between the king and the rook with which castling is to be effected.
The king is said to be `check` if it is attacked by one or more of the opponent`s pieces, even if such pieces are constrained from moving to that square because they would then leave or place their own king in check.
COMMENT
Plainly the King cannot capture on the square he crosses when castling as capturing involves placing the capturing piece on the square of he captured piece. He could make a capture instead but then he would forfeit the right to castle.
As regards the square the king arrives at when he has castled, if that is occupied by an enemy piece he may not castle as it means there is no empty set of squares between the king and the rook prior to castling.

Huh? the only way you can even consider that is if an opposing Knight or Bishop on b1 (or b8) and you want tom 0-0-0. Then it is illegal to castle because the king has no line of site with the rook..
In that situation the answer is no.
Castling is a king move the rook moving is almost irrelevant.
If you mean an opposing piece is on the square the rook ends on (d1, d8, f1, f8), then you need to be told you can't castle with any pieces in the way.
Edit: no you may not castle out of check. The king may not currently be in check.

1) You cannot "capture" a piece while castling
2) You cannot castle out of check
3) in extremely rare cases, you may checkmate your opponent while castling if your castled rook puts the opposing king in check (it would be on either the King's Bishop file or the Queen file) and the opposing King has no escape from the Rook check

You cannot capture a piece while castling your king. First, you may not use the castle move if you are in check, second, you cannot castle the king if another piece is between the king and rook.

No. The spaces between the rook and the king must be cleared out already. Of course that would be a crazy house rule.
Oh and Raf is just wrong about being able to castle out of check. He is playing with his own house rule on that subject.

NO, the rules for Castling are the pieces have not been moved and there is no piece between the rook and the king.

not in the same move--as one of the several pre-existing situations to be able to 'castle' is that no piece can be between the king and the rook when you castle---others: you can Not have moved you king previously, ANOTHER: you can Not have moved that particular rook which you are castle-ing---AND LASTLY: YOU CAN NOT CASTLE THRU A "LINE" OF "CHECK"!!!

Love. It takes us by storm. Randomly people are peirced by cupids arrow, and the sweet sting of love is there for but a moment before passionate waves wash over them in cool serenity. Love, it can hurt, and heal. It can flirt, and feel. Breathing, hot and heavy one moment. Then so cold the next. Lost in an instant, found in a moment. Let it run free or keep it hidden deep within your soul... Love. It chances us.

No, because there can't be pieces between the king and the tower. So it wouldn't be possible to capture while castling.
Hope that helps!
