Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee raised no objection and agreed to the application to relocate graves on private land at Lot 5754 GM 705. The authorities must first determine the number of marked and unmarked graves and consider villagers' views if more than six headstones are involved. Workers must be experienced, Muslim, cover their aurah and intend the work for public benefit, the work must be done carefully and respectfully, heirs informed, and permission obtained from the State Secretary's Office, the Health Office and the police. The applicant bears all costs, and the relocation must be attended by officials such as the police, penghulu, village head, mosque representatives and imam.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
