Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee raised no objection and agreed to the proposal to relocate the old graves. The permission is based on necessity. The authorities must first determine the number of marked and unmarked graves, consider villagers' views if they say more than 15 graves are involved, and use experienced and skilled workers. All costs are borne by the applicant.
