HARMONISASI HUKUM ISLAM DENGAN TRADISI GEYENG (Studi Kasus Di Desa Ngadi Kecamatan Mojo Kabupaten Kediri)

Abstract

The people of Ngadi Village, Mojo Sub-district, Kediri Regency, observe the traditional belief known as Geyeng, which prohibits marriage between individuals born on the Javanese days Wage and Pahing, as it is thought to bring misfortune to the household. However, Islamic law does not recognize such restrictions based on birth dates or traditional calculations. Despite this difference, the community is able to respect local customs while still upholding Islamic teachings. An understanding that the validity of a marriage in Islam is not determined by weton fosters a more open and accepting attitude. The harmony between traditional beliefs and Islamic values is maintained through mutual respect and tolerance, resulting in a peaceful and cohesive social life.
