Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee raised no objection and agreed to the proposal to relocate the old graves on this land. The permission is based on necessity. The responsible parties must first establish the number of marked and unmarked graves and consider villagers' views if more graves need to be moved. The workers must be experienced and skilled in exhumation and reburial, and the applicant bears all costs.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
