Is Ghusal compulsory for a murdered person?

Answer

If a Muslim was shot or attacked without a justifiable Shar'ee reason, and died without benefiting from any worldly cause, viz. medication, treatment, hospitalisation, food, drink, etc., then he will be regarded as a Shaheed (martyr) in his burial proceedings. He will remain in his soiled clothes and there will be no Ghusal and Masnoon Kafan given. However, Janaaza Salaat will be made. (Raddul Mukhtar vol.2 Pg.250; H..M. Saeed)
