Summary
Superstitious practices carried out within the cemetery grounds are forbidden and must be eradicated. Buildings erected inside the cemetery are to be demolished and the area is to be guarded. The same gazette also prohibits the pamphlets and teachings of Juruzon bin Abd. Latif from being read, taught or practised, as their deviations may lead to disbelief and divide society.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
(i) Amalan khurafat2 yang dilakukan di dalam kawasan tanah perkuburan tersebut adalah haram dan hendaklah dihapuskan.
