Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee raised no objection and agreed to the proposal to relocate the graves on the lot, with the permission based on necessity. The responsible parties must first determine 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 relocation, and all costs are borne by the applicant.
