Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not yet decide whether the graves may be relocated. The Religious Administrative Officer was told to search the original land grant at the Land and Mines Office and report the result to the Mufti Department before the next meeting. The officer must also gather further information from local residents to support the assumption that rebuts the indication that the 7 neatly arranged graves form a public cemetery.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
pihak Pegawai Tadbir Agama (PTA) perlu membuat carian geran asal daripada Pejabat Tanah dan Galian (PTG) Pulau Pinang dan dimaklumkan kepada Jabatan Mufti Negeri Pulau Pinang sebelum Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Fatwa yang akan datang.
