No evidence of gazettement in the source — this is not a gazetted fatwa.
Summary
Gazetted cemetery land in FELDA schemes is ruled to be the same as waqf al-Irsod. Any part already cultivated by FELDA or the FELDA Cooperative with oil palm that is productive and profitable is to be handed over to the Johor Islamic Religious Council for management. Management, administration and development costs are repaid to the cooperative, and the profits are split equally. If no profit has yet been made, the cultivating party may continue managing the land until it does.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tanah perkuburan di Rancangan Felda yang telah diwartakan sebagai tanah perkuburan dihukumkan sama seperti hukum wakaf al Irsod.
