No evidence of gazettement in the source — this is not a gazetted fatwa.
Summary
Gazetted FELDA scheme cemetery land is ruled to be the same as Irsod waqf. Any portion cultivated by FELDA or a FELDA cooperative with oil palm that is productive and profitable must have its management handed to the Johor Islamic Religious Council. All management, administration and development costs are repaid to the cooperative, while the profits are divided 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 dirancangan FELDA yang telah diwartakan sebagai tanah perkuburan dihukumkan sama seperti hukum wakaf Irsod.
