This article examines the Banjar traditional marriage practices in Samarinda from the perspective of Islamic law. The study employs a qualitative approach through literature review and interviews with local customary leaders to provide a comprehensive understanding of the marriage procession. Banjar marriage traditions consist of several stages, including bapara’ (proposal), seclusion, bridal bathing, batamat (Qur’an recitation completion), the marriage contract (akad nikah), and the wedding reception. Some of these traditions embody Islamic values, such as the khitbah (engagement), akad nikah, and batamat al-Qur’an, which align with the Sharia. However, there are also practices considered inconsistent with Islamic law, such as the imposition of excessive jujuran (bride price), eyebrow shaving, bridal bathing rituals that expose the aurat in public, and wedding entertainments that may lead to immoral acts. Analysis using the concept of ‘urf in Islamic law shows that Banjar customs can be classified as ‘urf ṣaḥīḥ insofar as they conform to Sharia principles, while elements that deviate fall into ‘urf fāsid and should be abandoned. Thus, Banjar marriage traditions in Samarinda represent a form of cultural-religious acculturation that requires filtration to ensure that Islamic values remain the primary guideline in marriage practices.References
