Abstract

The Eid al-Fitr hampers phenomenon has evolved into a complex cultural tradition among contemporary Indonesian Muslim communities. This tradition is not merely a gift exchange but reflects the interplay of ukhuwah Islamiyah values and increasingly prominent economic rationality amid modernization. This study aims to examine community perceptions of the Lebaran hampers phenomenon through the integration of three constructs: ukhuwah Islamiyah values, economic rationality, and perceptions of the hampers phenomenon. The instrument used was a community perception questionnaire consisting of 3 main constructs Ukhuwah Islamiyah (6 items), Economic Rationality (5 items), and Perceptions of the Lebaran Hampers Phenomenon (5 items) totaling 16 statement items using a Likert scale of 1–5. Data collection was conducted through Google Forms distributed online to the general public. The research subjects were 30 respondents with diverse backgrounds in age, education, and occupation. Results show that ukhuwah Islamiyah scores were in the high category (mean=22.93 out of 30), economic rationality in the very high category (mean=20.70 out of 25), and perceptions of the Lebaran hampers in the high category (mean=18.33 out of 25). These findings indicate that communities perceive Lebaran hampers not only as a spiritual and communal expression but also as an economically deliberated activity. The study concludes that the Lebaran hampers phenomenon represents an integration of Islamic values and economic pragmatism reflecting the religious dynamics of modern Muslim society.
