Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the proposal to relocate the old graves at this lot and ruled that the relocation is permissible. The ruling rests on the absence of any document proving that the land is waqf land for burial. The landowner bears all relocation costs, and the district religious authority must supervise the process.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
hukum pemindahan tersebut adalah harus kerana tiada sebarang dokumen yang membuktikan bahawa tanah tersebut adalah tanah wakaf untuk perkuburan.
