Is a deceased man who had made a declaration of conversion regarded as a Muslim, and must his grave be exhumed and moved to a Muslim cemetery?
Short answer
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that the named person was a Muslim, based on his declaration of conversion, a copy of the marriage register, court orders and judgment, and other attached documents.

Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that the named person was a Muslim, based on his declaration of conversion, a copy of the marriage register, court orders and judgment, and other attached documents. Since the deceased had been buried for a long time and the body was believed to have decomposed, the grave need not be dug up and relocated to a Muslim cemetery.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh kerana si mati telah dikebumikan dalam tempoh yang lama dan diyakini telah reput, maka kuburnya tidak perlu digali untuk dipindahkan ke perkuburan Islam.
