Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee found no objection and agreed to the proposal to relocate the graves in this cemetery. The responsible parties must first determine the number of marked and unmarked graves and consider the villagers' view that about 20 or more graves are involved. The exhumation and relocation must be carried out by experienced and skilled workers, and a permanent boundary marker for the waqf land must be set even if it falls within the river.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
