How is it possible ?  Because you don't know the rules of chess. A rook is allowed to move through an attacked square when castling.

My opponent castled while his king passes by an attacked square.

It is not possible. You have posted three times about this issue and it has been answered. You were attcking a square his rook moved through, not his king. perfectly legal to castle.

I had this question as well but now I know the answer: When you castle, first, the king moves two squares either to its left or right - depending if it's a short or long castle - and second, the rook "jumps" the king to the square right next to it. Castling will be prevented if a piece is attacking the king's movement, but not the rook's "jump":How do I Castle? - Chess.com Member Support and FAQs
