Shaheed (Martyr)

Paying fidya for one's deceased parents if they did not make a bequest

Q:

1. My parents passed away when I was a minor. My mother was shot when I was 2 years old and my father was shot when I was 6 years old. Does that make both of them shaheed?

2. I'm unaware of any qadha salaahs or fast if they had any. I was told that my father used to cover up qadha salaahs, I'm not sure if he completed it. What must I do on behalf of them? I would have estimated how many salaahs and fasts they had from the age of their puberty till demise and paid for every salaah and fast but I'm not a wealthy person. I dont know if I should give kafaarah on their behalf for any qadha salaah and fasts and how much I need to pay for them both as I am unaware of the amount of qadha salaahs or fasts for them both. What must I do?

Passing away from coronavirus

Q: I have heard from someone that if one passes away because of cancer, they pass away as a Shaheed (that is they gain martyrdom). They also have said that if one passes away from the corona virus and any other such virus then they also pass away as a Shaheed. Is there any truth to these statements?

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?
