Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee approved burying the ashes of the Quran as an alternative disposal method, subject to conditions. The ashes must be compacted into blocks, Quran copies burned separately from other materials bearing Quranic verses, the ashes buried in separate pits, and the area fenced with a notice posted. Burial in the specially endowed Muslim cemetery was rejected, and the burial is to be done on a general welfare waqf site at lot PTD 10023, Batu Pahat.
