Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee deferred its decision on the proposal to relocate the graves on these lots, so no final ruling was issued. The cemetery has existed for about 60 years. The District Religious Administration Officer and the current owner were asked to check the original grant at the Land and Mines Office to confirm the land's original status. They must also clarify whether all the original heirs agree to appoint Siti Khadijah binti Md. Hassan as administrator.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
