Is it allowed to do castle if bishop is pointing in the corner to rook? I were yesterday playing whith a board and situation came in front. If thinking logically no but how it is? Aint that kind of between king and rook, if bishop points to rook?

As long as the king is not under attack, does not pass through an attacked square or does not land on an attacked square, castling would be valid.

An attack on a corner rook by a bishop does not prevent castling since it's not the king which is affected.

You cannot give 'Check' to a Rook.

So why would you expect the Bishop attacking the Rook to stop me from castling?
