Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee did not rule directly on the permissibility of leasing. The proposal to lease Islamic cemetery land to an individual at Masjid Jamek Taman Kasih, Kampung Baru, Kluang must be referred to the Waqf Committee and the Johor Islamic Religious Council. The referral is made through the Kluang District Religious Administration Officer, as the matter falls under that body's authority.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
