<![CDATA[Wayang Kulit is a Javanese cultural heritage used to convey entertaining and innovative messages. The legal fatwa on wayang kulit is questioned by several Muslim communities in Indonesia when it is used as a medium for preaching. This research aims to understand the perspective of 'ulum syar'iyah in addressing permissible matters and when a permissible culture will change its legal ruling to become forbidden. This literature review is of a qualitative descriptive nature, narrating cultures that originally are permissible, but the permissibility will change to prohibition due to several influencing factors. The primary data for this research are Arabic-language literature and scientific journal articles on the themes of da'wah and culture, supported by secondary data based on reliable official websites. The researcher believes that Wayang Kulit is categorized as a culture with a legal basis of permissibility according to fiqh principles, the tradition of weak hadiths as a basis for practice, and the narration of Israiliyyat legends in Muslim communities as folklore. Additionally, Wayang Kulit does not directly correlate with Islamic worship or creed. Therefore, a legal ruling that is originally permissible can change due to the communicator (puppeteer) conveying messages that fail to eliminate elements prohibited by Islam.]]>
