PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM TERHADAP TRADISI SAWERAN UNTUK PENGANTIN DALAM PERNIKAN

Abstract

Marriage is a legal agreement between a man and a woman with the aim of forming a harmonious family. Marriage is also a very strong contract and a mitsakan garizan. In other words, obeying and carrying out God's commands is worship. The Saweran custom for the bride and groom is a very unique wedding reception custom and has been passed down from generation to generation by donating a certain amount of money to the bride and groom. This research is part of a field study. Primary data was obtained from interviews and documents. Data management is carried out through data exploration and systematic data collection. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive analysis. From the results of this research, the traditional zaweran (orop-orop) for prospective brides and grooms is led by local leaders and traditional brides and grooms, who give large amounts of money to the prospective bride and groom, who provide advice and food to them, concluding that it is a matrix that accepts. leader. The Saweran tradition regarding the bride and groom at the wedding reception is not in line with Daril and Shara from an Islamic legal perspective. Even though Islam prioritizes practicality, the Saweran tradition tends to cause losses because the process and implementation are wasteful. From the perspective of Islamic law, the saweran tradition at weddings is often considered controversial. In some cultures, this tradition is considered part of the wedding celebration ceremony, however in Islam this aspect may be considered inconsistent with Sharia principles. Giving money to the bride and groom in the form of sawelan is seen as a form of transaction that strengthens the notion that marriage is a business or transaction, and is contrary to the spirit of togetherness, loyalty and love which is at the heart of marriage. Marriage must be performed in Islam. Apart from that, the Zaweran tradition can also cause social divisions between economically well-off families and economically disadvantaged families. This is contrary to the Islamic principles of equality and justice, where all people are considered equal before Allah. Therefore, from the perspective of Islamic law, fundamental Islamic values ​​are needed so that marriage remains an institution based on love, affection and justice and does not contain elements that are detrimental or violate traditional sharia such as Saweran in this perspective. This violates the Principles.
