Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee agreed that the graves may be relocated, and this allowance is based on necessity. The authorities must first establish the number of marked and unmarked graves, and take into account villagers' views if they say more than four graves need to be moved. The excavation and relocation must be done by experienced and skilled workers, with authority and costs borne by the Johor Islamic Religious Council.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
