Answer

✅Answer: Please pay attention to the following narrations:

1 عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا فِی رَجُلٍ مَسَّ مَیْتَةً أَ عَلَیْهِ الْغُسْلُ قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا ذَلِکَ مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ.

📚 Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 1, p. 430

Muhammad ibn Muslim asked one of the two Imams, Baqir or Sadiq (peace be upon them), about a person who touches a carcass. Is ghusl obligatory upon him? He said: No! Indeed, this matter is only for a human!

2 عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِاللَّهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ یَمَسُّ الْمَیْتَ أَ یَنْبَغِی لَهُ أَنْ یَغْتَسِلَ مِنْهَا قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا ذَلِکَ مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ وَحْدَهُ...

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, p. 161

Halabi said: I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about a person who touches a carcass. Is it proper for him to perform ghusl from it? He said: No! This is only for a human...

✅Based on the above narrations and others, ghusl al-mass al-mayyit is only for when a person's body touches a human corpse. Touching the carcass of a dog or other animals does not necessitate ghusl, and only rulings about washing and purification have been mentioned for it in the narrations.
