Abstract

Temettok is an ancient tradition in Aceh Singkil where each family member is called one by one to sprinkle rice flour on the bride or the circumcised child, and then give a sum of money, is starting to fade. This study highlights the importance of preserving this unique tradition to maintain cultural identity and social coherence among the people of Aceh Singkil. This research uses a qualitative approach with a type of sociological empirical research to explore the significance of Temettok in Aceh Singkil culture and its conformity with Islamic law. The results show that Temettok can be categorized as "urf shahih", a legitimate and widely accepted tradition that is not in conflict with Islamic law. In addition, Temettok is considered a form of giftgiving that strengthens relationships and reinforces a sense of brotherhood.
