Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed that the old cemetery be relocated to the Qaryah Masjid Timah area. The full relocation cost is to be borne by the developer, Pen. Sutera Dev. Sdn. Bhd., in accordance with Syariah rulings. The developer is also requested to provide a replacement burial site within the same qaryah for its members. The decision has not yet been implemented because of technical problems between the developer and MAINPP.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
