Coastal communities frequently encounter complex and interrelated challenges, including limited religious literacy that may shape socio-religious practices in ways that are not fully aligned with normative Islamic legal principles. In the Lebuk Coastal Region, insufficient understanding of family fiqh has contributed to socio-religious practices that potentially diverge from established sharia provisions. Addressing this gap, this community service program aimed to strengthen community literacy in family fiqh through a structured, systematic, and sustainable mentoring framework. The program was implemented using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) design, encompassing iterative phases of preparation, action, and evaluation. This approach ensured meaningful community participation at every stage of the intervention, enabling collaborative problem identification, context-sensitive learning, and continuous improvement of the mentoring process. Empirical findings indicate a statistically significant enhancement in participants’ understanding, as reflected in the significance level below 0.05 calculated using IBM SPSS Statistics 26. These results substantiate the effectiveness of the staged mentoring model. The fundamental, progressive, and intensive mentoring framework grounded in PAR, therefore, demonstrates strong practical efficacy and offers a transferable model for communities with comparable socio-religious characteristics.
