Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the proposed concept and implementation of Islamic cemeteries that are reusable and multi-storey, as well as planned and systematic, in the Southwest District. The decision was made because the concept does not conflict with Islamic law. The name "Tanah Perkuburan Islam" is to be retained.
