Summary
The grave of Dayang Ahmad may be honoured and maintained like other Muslim graves. However, erecting a fence, signboard and flagpole is not permitted because the grave lies on general waqf land and not specific waqf land. It may only be done with the consent of the Sultan of Johor as the trustee (nazir) of general waqf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menurut hukum syara', tiada halangan Makam Dayang Ahmad yang terletak di tanah perkuburan Islam Pontian Besar, Pontian Johor diberi penghormatan dan dipelihara sebagaimana kubur-kubur orang Islam yang lain.
