Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that it is permissible to remove trees and timber from the cemetery for clearing works to open an integrated government Islamic cemetery. Proceeds from selling the trees and timber are to be returned to the same cemetery. If the cemetery has no need for the proceeds, the money is to be channelled to the Amwal Badal fund of the Johor State Islamic Religious Council.
