Abstract

Islam provides space for its followers to develop variations in marriage proposal practices as long as they do not contradict Sharia law. One of the khitbah traditions that has developed in Minangkabau society is the practice of Pulang Bainduok. This study aims to highlight the practice of religious moderation internalized in this tradition amid issues of radicalism and religious intolerance. Employing a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, this study explores the meanings and cultural values embodied in the Pulang Bainduok tradition. The findings show that Pulang Bainduok embodies philosophical, religious, and social values. The philosophical values lie in efforts to preserve religion, life, descendants, and household harmony. The religious values are reflected in the essence of the tradition, which resembles the practice of the Prophet Muhammad in honoring foster parents. Meanwhile, the social values are evident in the involvement of relatives in fostering a harmonious social order. These values reflect tasamuh (tolerance), tawazun (balance), ta‘awun (mutual assistance), and tawassuth (moderation), which play a vital role in maintaining family and community harmony. Thus, the Pulang Bainduok tradition can be regarded as a cultural practice that reflects the internalization of religious moderation in Indonesian Islamic society.
