Inductively, it is possible to deduce the research findings from the described phenomena. The data were collected systematically through observation, interviews, and recording of data sources. The data collection took place at the Al-Amin Islamic Boarding School in Tasikmalaya City. The habitus theory is used in the study framework to examine the methods of ulama to alleviate poverty. According to the study's findings, the ulama possess socioeconomic, cultural, and symbolic capital. Transferring one capital into another is possible.
