Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee approved relocating the graves at Lot 859 to the Muslim cemetery on Lot 857, owned by the Johor Islamic Religious Council, with the applicant bearing the costs. The permission was given because about 55 graves had encroached on the applicant's land, which was to be developed in the near term. Conditions include identifying marked and unmarked graves, using experienced Muslim workers who cover their aurah, informing heirs, obtaining authorities' permission letters, and having designated officials present during the work.
