Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee raised no objection and agreed to the proposal to relocate the graves. The permissibility is based on necessity. The authorities must first determine the number of marked and unmarked graves and consider villagers' views if they say there are more than 8 graves. The exhumation and relocation must be done by experienced and skilled workers, with all costs borne by the applicant.
