<![CDATA[The Calon Pengantin Menanam Berdampak (Catin Nampak) Program, launched by the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of West Sumatra Province on October 6, 2025, is an innovation in religious services that requires prospective married couples to plant fruit-bearing trees before their marriage ceremony. Because the program has no legal basis explicitly stipulated in scriptural texts, its implementation needs to be examined from the perspective of maslahah mursalah. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Catin Nampak Program at the South Payakumbuh Religious Affairs Office and assess its conformity with the principles of maslahah mursalah. The study employed a field research method with descriptive qualitative and Islamic normative-juridical approaches. Data were collected through observations, interviews with marriage registrars and prospective married couples, and document analysis and were subsequently analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis. The findings indicate that the program was implemented through three stages: providing guidance on preparing seedlings during marriage registration, planting trees at a mosque with assistance from Religious Affairs Office personnel, and direct tree planting by the prospective married couples. Based on the analysis, the program fulfills three requirements of maslahah mursalah: alignment with the objectives of Islamic law, provision of rational and empirical benefits, and orientation toward the public interest. This study concludes that the Catin Nampak Program may be regarded as a legitimate policy from the perspective of maslahah mursalah. These findings indicate that the program contributes to strengthening religious services oriented toward environmental conservation and may serve as a model for public policy based on Islamic values and environmental sustainability.]]>
