Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee has no objection and agrees to the proposal to relocate the graves. The permission is based on necessity. The authorities must first determine the number of marked and unmarked graves, consider the villagers' views if there are more than 20 graves, and use workers experienced and skilled in exhuming and moving remains. The authority and costs are borne by the landowner.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
