Abstract

The genduri funeral tradition represents a form of cultural heritage preservation aimed at offering prayers for deceased individuals through a series of rituals performed on specific days following death. This study seeks to identify the factors that sustain the continuity of this tradition and to analyze it from the perspective of maqashid al-sharia. The research employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the practices and cultural meanings underlying the genduri funeral tradition. The findings indicate that the tradition continues to be preserved because it is regarded as a hereditary custom and is supported by the belief that prayers offered by family members and the community benefit the deceased. From the perspective of maqashid al-sharia, the genduri tradition is permissible as long as it does not contain elements of shirk and embodies positive values such as strengthening social solidarity, enhancing spiritual awareness, and fostering interpersonal relationships. These findings suggest that local cultural practices can align with the objectives of Islamic law as long as they are carried out in accordance with the principles of aqidah and provide broad social benefits to the community.

Abstract

Changes in the nomenclature of the Islamic Family Law Study Programme (HKI) at State Islamic Religious Universities are often assumed to affect the level of public understanding and interest in the study programme. This study aims to analyse public perceptions of the naming of the Islamic Family Law Study Programme and its implications for study interest in Rejang Lebong Regency. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to 439 respondents from various social backgrounds and regions. The results show that the public's understanding of the name of the Islamic Family Law Study Program is moderate, with the majority of respondents aware of the existence and general characteristics of the study program, although they do not yet have a comprehensive understanding of the competencies of graduates and their career prospects. Empirical findings also show that the name of the study program does not have a significant effect on the decline in the number of new students, as evidenced by the stability and even increase in the number of applicants in the last academic year. This study concludes that the main factor influencing student interest is not the nomenclature of the study programme, but rather strategies to strengthen its academic image and socialise graduate competencies. Therefore, strengthening the brand image of the Islamic Family Law Study Programme is a strategic step in increasing its competitiveness and public trust.

Abstract

This study explores the practice of Fidyah Semyang, which is a local tradition of the people of Suka Datang Village, North Curup, Bengkulu which is carried out as a form of redemption for the obligation to pray from someone who has died. Fidyah is given in the form of gold, money, and fragrances through rituals full of spiritual symbolism. This study aims to understand how this tradition is practiced, as well as how it is positioned within the framework of normative Islamic law which generally does not allow the delegation of bodily worship such as prayer to others, either in the form of qadha or Fidyah. The method used is qualitative-descriptive with an ethnographic approach and case studies, through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and literature review of contemporary Islamic jurisprudence and jurisprudence. The results of the study show that Fidyah Semyang is a form of religious syncretism that develops from the interaction between Islamic teachings and local customary value structures. Although the practice has a strong social and spiritual function, it faces challenges from Islamic scholars and legal thinkers who consider the tradition to be a form of ‘urf fāsid (corrupt customs), as it lacks a solid basis in nash shari'i and can distort the correct understanding of worship in Islam. In conclusion, Fidyah Semyang reflects on the dynamics between cultural religious expression and normative Islamic authority, and shows how local Muslim communities negotiate their religious identities within the framework of ancestral heritage customs and traditions
