Summary
Relocating the 25 old graves on the private land to a nearby cemetery is permissible, with the cost borne by the landowner. The district Kadi office must verify the actual number of graves before the relocation. Beforehand, it is proposed that the district Kadi office discuss with the landowner so that the land containing the graves is handed over to the Johor Islamic Religious Council to be endowed as waqf.
