<![CDATA[This study examines the legitimacy of Islamic law against the tradition of khataman Al-Qur'an in cemeteries carried out by the people of Bangai Village, Torgamba District, South Labuhanbatu Regency, for three days and two nights after the funeral. This research is an empirical legal research with a case and historical approach, where primary data is obtained through direct observation and in-depth interviews with local religious leaders, while secondary data is excavated from jurisprudence literature, hadith, and relevant classical books. The findings of the study show that this tradition has been going on since the time of Sheikh Maksum Hasibuan, the founder of the Tarbiyah Islamiyah Islamic Boarding School, and is carried out in turn with a juz distribution system through lotteries, which then ends with a joint prayer on the third day. From the perspective of Islamic law, this tradition has a strong normative foundation, both through hadith that advocates the recitation of the Qur'an at the grave and the opinions of mu'tabarah scholars such as Imam Nawawi, Imam Zainuddin Al-Malibary, and Ibn Hajar Al-Haitami who state the sunnah of reciting the Qur'an in the cemetery and the arrival of the reward of reading the Qur'an to the deceased. In addition, because it has been cultured for generations and does not contradict the principles of sharia, this tradition can be categorized as 'urf sahih which is loaded with beneficial values. Thus, the Qur'an khataman in the cemetery of the people of Bangai Village has legitimacy in Islamic law and can be seen as a living form of Islamic law that lives and develops in the community.]]>
