Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee upheld its earlier decision from its 2017 meeting. Graves that have been found are permitted to be moved to a nearby cemetery. The cemetery land of 6,240 k.p is to be looked after by MAINPP. A study on the status of old burial land not registered as waqf is also to be carried out as a guide for determining its ruling and status.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
