PINDAH KUBUR DARI JIRAT CINA KE TANAH WAKAF PERKUBURAN ISLAM
Must the grave of a Muslim buried in a Chinese cemetery be exhumed and moved to Islamic waqf burial land?
Short answer
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the named person in this case was a Muslim, based on the declaration of conversion, a copy of the marriage register, court orders and judgment, and other attached documents.

Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the named person in this case was a Muslim, based on the declaration of conversion, a copy of the marriage register, court orders and judgment, and other attached documents. Because the deceased had been buried for a long time and was believed to have decayed, the grave does not need to be dug up and relocated to an Islamic 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.
