Pandangan Muhammadiyah dan Nahdlatul Ulama Sirombu Nias Barat Tentang Tradisi Pemberian Babi Sebagai Adat dalam Perkawinan Masyarakat Sirombu Nias Barat

Abstract

In West Nias Sirombu marriage custom, there is a tradition of giving pigs from Muslim families (converts) who are married to non-Muslim families (Christians) because of the traditional marriage tradition, when a family gets married it will give pigs to other family relatives. This is not in line with Islamic principles which forbid pork itself. The purpose of this research is to see how Muhammadiyah and NU leaders in Sirombu West Nias view the giving of pigs in the West Nias marriage custom. This research is field research, namely conducting interviews with Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama figures, Sirombu Nias Barat District, and supported by literature sources. The results of this study indicate that Muhammadiyah Sirombu West Nias figures regarding giving pigs from Muslim families who marry to non-Muslim families are not justified in Islam and are unlawful. Meanwhile, the figure of Nahdlatul Ulama Sirombu, West Nias, believes that Muslim families (converts) who still carry out these customs still get relief (rukhsah) due to an understanding that is still common.
