Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee agreed and saw no objection to relocating the old graves on this privately owned waqf land. The permission rests on the site being low-lying, flood-prone, eroded near a river, isolated and overgrown, and on the aim of honouring the deceased by moving them to a better place. The work must be done by experienced Muslim workers who cover the aurah, with heirs informed, authority approvals obtained and relevant officials present. The costs are borne by the waqf division of the Johor State Islamic Religious Council.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
