Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that the body of the director of Madrasah Miftahul Irfan Sungai Rusa, Southwest District, is to be moved to a nearby public cemetery. The reason given is that the land did not yet belong to the madrasah at the time of burial and the landowner had not given permission. The decision is related to the earlier decision of Meeting No. 1/2015.
