<![CDATA[This study discusses the existence of the Jaran Kepang (Jarkep) dance tradition in wedding ceremonies in Ngaso Village, Ujungbatu District, Rokan Hulu Regency, and its perspective according to the concept of 'urf in Islamic law. This study is motivated by differences in community views regarding the implementation of this tradition. Some people consider Jaran Kepang as a cultural heritage and entertainment that needs to be preserved, while others believe that the tradition contains elements that contradict Islamic teachings. This study uses a field research method with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results show that the Jaran Kepang tradition still exists and is still performed in wedding ceremonies in Ngaso Village because it is considered part of the community's cultural identity and a means of entertainment at wedding events. However, there are differences of opinion regarding its existence, especially regarding the costs of implementation and the risks that can be posed to the performers. From an 'urf' perspective, the Jaran Kepang tradition can be categorized as 'urf fasid' because it still contains elements inconsistent with Islamic law, such as the practice of trance and the use of offerings. However, the positive values contained within the tradition, such as cultural preservation, entertainment, and strengthening social relations, can be maintained by eliminating elements that conflict with Islamic teachings.]]>
