Dream

Q: Yesterday I saw a strange dream. I saw my cousin has died and we are preparing for his funeral. We gave him ghusl, we applied fragrance, we did all the things done. But in the mean while he wakes up. He sees everything but says nothing. He also reacts like he doesn't know its being prepared for his funeral. I start worrying and try to talk talk elders that we should not perform his funeral because he is not dead but nobody listens. Then we carry on for kabristan, in the way we lose his carriage and the body falls down and he wakes up, stands up and behave like a healthy man, still we make him sleep on the carriage and we continue to kabristan and then he was buried.

I request you to do interpret this dream. One more thing my cousin has been suffering from cancer we have been treating him since 2 months and he is on progress. Does this have any connection with my dream?

Will a shaheed be given ghusal?

Q: If a person is murdered (and gains martyrdom) then can ghusal be given to his body? In many cases, post mortem is conducted by non-muslim doctors and najaasat could have come onto the body. Also, it is possible that ghusal could have been waajib on the deceased at the time of his death. Will these factors affect the mas'alah in any way?

Who is a Shaheed?

Q: If a Muslim is robbed and murdered innocently, and dies on the spot, is he a shaheed-e-dunyawi? In our country in this time and age, which situations would be classified as shaheed-e-dunyawi?
