<![CDATA[This study investigates the practices and Islamic legal status ('urf) of the Induak limau pre-marital tradition in Kampung Batu Dalam, Solok. As a deeply meaningful cultural heritage, the execution of this tradition was examined using a qualitative field research approach, involving in-depth interviews with 27 key informants selected via purposive sampling. The results indicate that this tradition centers on ancestral graves and comprises activities such as grave cleaning, communal prayers, and the ritualistic use of water. While the local community perceives it as a tribute to their ancestors and a means to ensure a smooth wedding ceremony, the 'urf perspective validates this tradition ('urf shahih) provided the intent remains strictly confined to visitation (ziarah) and the preservation of culture. In conclusion, despite the dynamic societal shifts surrounding the Induak limau tradition, Islamic law categorizes it as a permissible practical custom ('urf amali). Nevertheless, a strict demarcation applies: the tradition is only permissible as long as the community does not harbor beliefs that the water or the grave holds autonomous power to grant blessings or protection, as such convictions fundamentally contradict the principle of tawhid]]>
