Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted the cemetery to be reopened for burials, even though its closure had previously been decreed. The permission was given because the cemetery area is not affected by the surrounding road widening project. It remains valid until a new decision is issued.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
