Abstract

This study The tradition of the bridal shower is one of a series of Sundanese traditional wedding ceremonies that is still preserved by the community to this day. This tradition is carried out by throwing various objects such as rice, coins, turmeric, flowers, and candy to the bride and groom while accompanied by kidung or sawer poetry containing advice on married life. This study aims to determine the process of implementing the bridal shower tradition in Sundanese traditional weddings and analyze the Islamic legal perspective on this tradition in Sukamulnya Village, Sukamakmur District, Bogor Regency. This study uses a qualitative research method with an empirical approach and field research. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the bridal shower tradition has deep philosophical, social, and religious meanings for the Sundanese people. This tradition contains values ​​​​of advice, togetherness, gratitude, and hope for a harmonious household life. From the perspective of Islamic law, the bridal shower tradition is included in the category of 'urf sahih because it does not conflict with Islamic law and contains good values ​​​​that are acceptable in Islamic law. However, this tradition must adhere to the principles of simplicity and avoid waste, especially when using food items such as rice.
