This research examines the Manjapuik Palambo tradition in Jorong Tangah Padang, Nagari Situjuah Banda Dalam, which obligates the wife's family to bring dulang to the husband's parents' house on the third day after the husband's death. This study aims to describe the practice of this tradition and analyze it through the perspective of 'Urf in Islamic law. Using qualitative field research methods with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, the study finds that the tradition is carried out by bringing various traditional dishes arranged in dulang and katidiang, involving family members, pasumandan, neighbors, and the surrounding community in a spirit of mutual cooperation. From the 'Urf perspective, this tradition tends to qualify as 'Urf Shahih within the scope of the Situjuah Banda Dalam community: it does not contradict the Qur'an and Sunnah, contains clear benefits (maslahah) such as strengthening social relations and community solidarity, and has been practiced for generations, although a degree of informal social pressure on less able families is still found and warrants continued attention. This tradition is also in line with the fiqh rule al-'ādah muḥakkamah and the objectives of Islamic law (maqashid al-syari'ah) in maintaining social relations and public welfare.
