Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that it is permissible for JHEAIPP to provide a hearse route and a drainage channel on the cemetery land in Kepala Batas, North Seberang Perai. JHEAIPP is advised to consider a development plan for drains and vehicle routes across the whole 8 acres. Any future construction must first be referred to the Fatwa Committee to preserve the donor's intention that the land be used only as a cemetery.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
