Abstract

Tradition is a habit that people continuously carry out in a specific area. Carrying out traditions can be interpreted as realizing the process of socialization between each generation in a civilization. Each region has different traditions and cultures. One tradition still preserved from generation to generation by the people of Suka Maju Village is the Tepung Tawar ceremony. The purpose of this research is to critically examine the thinking of Imam al-Shāṭibī in Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah as an effort to measure the value of relevance between shariah and tradition; in this case, it is used to analyze the tradition of tepung tawar in traditional Melayu marriages in Suka Maju village. The results in this study indicate that the tradition of tepung tawar in the marriage of the Melayu community in Suka Maju Village, which was analyzed using Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah from the perspective of Imam Imam al-Shāṭibī is considered relevant, which is described on the validity and purpose of the procession. Furthermore, if based on the classification of Al-'awāid Imam al-Shāṭibī's idea to sharpen the analysis, then it strengthens that the tepung tawar tradition is the embodiment of Al-'awāid al-Jāriyyah’s conception of Al-shāṭibī.
