Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Stor, paip air dan saliran yang dibina di tanah perkuburan tersebut hendaklah bersifat sementara dan boleh diubah apabila kawasan tersebut diperlukan untuk pengebumian jenazah, maka hendaklah ia diberikan keutamaan.
