Summary
The Shariah Committee decided that the old graves at the lot may be relocated. However, the matter should first be referred to the Penang Islamic Religious Council because it concerns safety in the locality concerned. A notice will be issued stating that burial of bodies there is prohibited from 22 September 1980.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
