Abstract

This study examines the practice of preventing marriage known as "Ngalor Ngulon" in Tumpakkepuh Village, which is primarily Muslim. This custom forbids marriage if the prospective groom's residence is situated in the north-west direction relative to the prospective bride's residence, as it is considered to result in calamities such as discord, mortality, or financial hardships. This research employs a qualitative methodology utilizing a sociological-legal framework. Data were collected via interviews with village heads, traditional authorities, religious leaders, and community members, in addition to direct observation. Literary analyses pertaining to Islamic jurisprudence concerning 'urf and matrimony further substantiate this research. The study's findings indicate that the practice of "Ngalor Ngulon" is categorized as 'urf fasid due to its lack of foundation in Islamic law. Islam does not forbid marriage depending on the orientation of the residence; instead, it underscores the fundamental principles and prerequisites of marriage. This tradition is preserved as a cultural heritage. This study aims to enhance the community's comprehension of the Islamic notion of marriage and to illuminate scholars' perspectives on the interplay between local customs and sharia law.

Abstract

  This study examines the customary practice of Lako' Penganten among the Muslim Sasak community in Medana Village, North Lombok, through the lens of the Islamic jurisprudential principle of sadd al-dharī'a. Custom refers to something well-known and established within a community, whether in speech or actions. In the context of marriage proposals, Indonesian society exhibits diverse traditional practices, including the Lako' Penganten custom. This research employs a descriptive qualitative methodology, collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation. Additionally, it adopts an empirical sociological approach to examine the legal norms observed by the Muslim Sasak community in Medana Village. The findings indicate that, in principle, engagement before marriage is permissible in Islam. However, in one of its procedural aspects, the Lako' Penganten practice deviates from Islamic engagement norms. Specifically, the bride-to-be is taken to the groom's house without a legitimate shar'ī bond. From the perspective of sadd al-dharī'a, this practice falls into the category of dharī'a, which, although initially permissible, leads to certain harm (mafsada). Accordingly, the researcher suggests that community leaders may preserve this tradition with necessary modifications, ensuring that any processes that could cause harm are avoided.
