Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that the hilly area on Lots 345, 346 and 434 must be levelled by the Johor Islamic Religious Council itself. Surplus soil may be moved to other waqf land. If some remains and the Council has no need for it, it may be sold, with the proceeds placed in the waqf income account and spent according to Islamic law.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
