Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved relocating one grave from the Padang Benggali Mosque cemetery to the Padang Benggali Mosque burial area at Teluk Air Tawar, North Seberang Perai. The approval was based on the grave being too close to a planned public pathway and too near the mosque's drain. The move was also considered necessary to preserve the dignity of the grave.
