Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee has not yet issued a ruling on the application to relocate the old graves. The meeting noted that the land may be a public cemetery waqf land or a private or family burial ground. The decision was deferred until the current owner's family is called to clarify the land's original status before it was sold, and the matter will be discussed again at a future meeting.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
