<![CDATA[The tradition of Mambaia Uang Rompak Paga is one of the customary practices still upheld by the community of Nagari Koto Baru Simalanggang, Lima Puluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra. This tradition requires a prospective groom from outside the nagari to pay a sum of customary money as a form of respect for the norms and social structure of the local community. The existence of this tradition has sparked debate regarding its status under Islamic law, particularly when viewed from the perspective of 'urf. This study aims to describe the practice of the Mambaia Uang Rompak Paga tradition and to analyse its status based on the concept of 'urf in Islamic law. This study is a field study (field research) using a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation and documentation, which were subsequently analysed using a descriptive-analytical approach. The research findings indicate that the tradition of Mambaia Uang Rompak Paga is practised as a form of social acceptance of newcomers who marry local women, as well as a contribution to the customary interests of the village. Based on an analysis of 'urf, this tradition fulfils the characteristics of 'urf ṣaḥīḥ as it has been practised for generations, is accepted by the community, does not conflict with the principles of Islamic sharia, and serves the public good of the community’s social life. Therefore, the tradition of Mambaia Uang Rompak Paga may be preserved as part of customary practice that is in harmony with the values of Islamic law. ]]>
