Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee raised no objection to the proposal and stated that the permission rests on necessity. The authorities must first establish the number of marked and unmarked graves, and take into account villagers' views if they say more than 12 graves need to be moved. Workers must be experienced and skilled in exhumation and reburial, and all costs are borne by the landowner.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tiada apa-apa halangan dan bersetuju di atas cadangan untuk pembinaan kubur-kubur tersebut.
