Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that there is no objection to the proposal to relocate the graves. The permission rests on necessity, public interest, and showing due respect to the graves by moving them to a new, more honourable and better site. The responsible parties should consider the villagers' knowledge of how many graves exist, and the workers who excavate and relocate must be experienced and skilled in such work.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jabatan Mufti Johor tiada halangan apa-apa halangan di atas cadangan untuk pemindahan kubur tersebut.
