1 day ago

The Supreme Council for Fatwa ruled on Thursday that it is not permissible to dig up graves and move human remains, after some of the old cemeteries in the populous Male’ City were cleared for development as parking areas, public parks and sports facilities. The fatwa comes with redevelopment works in progress at both the Maafannu Cemetery and the Galolhu Cemetery.
