INTRODUCTION
Islam views culture and societal traditions as possessing legal significance, which is reflected in the jurisprudential principle of al-Aoadah al-muhakkamah that states customs can serve as a basis for law.
This theory of custom is grounded in the social reality that values considered as life norms shape the behavior and actions of individuals within society.
In this context.
Islamic law can be understood and applied according to the values that have been internalized within the Vol.

La Ode Ismail Ahmad 1 Islam provides comprehensive life guidance to achieve both spiritual and physical happiness and governs the lives of individuals and society.
The purpose of the creation and establishment of AllahAos laws is for the benefit and happiness of humanity in this world and the hereafter,2 with maslahah as an effort to achieve benefits and avoid harm.
Maslahah protects five essential aspects: religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property.
Efforts that support these aspects are considered maslahah, while actions that harm them are called mafsadat.
3 A deep understanding of maslahah in Islamic law is crucial to prevent errors in its application.
4 Al-Ghazali explains that maslahah must align with the MaqAid al-Sharah, which includes the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property.
Actions that support the achievement of these goals are considered maslahah, while those that hinder them are termed mafsadah.
Al-Syatibi adds that maslahah in Sharia must consider the afterlife, and benefits cannot be measured based on personal desires.
5 Cultural rituals, unlike religious rituals such as prayer and fasting, can undergo modifications, and the application of the maslahah principle includes the realm of muamalah and cultural rituals.
Islamic law criticizes cultural rituals that deviate from the principle of maslahah and appreciates rituals that benefit faith, humanity, intelligence, wealth, and lineage.
The people of Labuku Village strongly adhere to their traditional customs, with customary institutions led by 'Tau AAopa' playing a pivotal role in shaping and regulating the norms that guide their daily lives.
Their social life is highly dependent on the physical environment, which serves as their source of livelihood, and the customary leader, known as AoTau AAopa,Ao is responsible for maintaining the balance between the communityAos life and the environment.
The norms established by Tau AAopa are local and emotionally binding, creating strong social solidarity.
7 The role of the Tau AAopa customary institution is supported by the communityAos homogeneous belief in it.
8 AppaAo Alliri, known as a customary institution in Labuku Village, is believed to be part of the Matajang community and a manifestation of the Tomanurung myth passed down through 1 Agung Setiyawan.

La Ode Ismail Ahmad 9 The concept of To Manurung represents the embodiment of four elements of nature in human form as leaders within the community: Tomatoa symbolizes customs.
Imang represents sharia.
Dulung embodies livelihood, and Sanro signifies protection.
The enduring practice of the Maccera Manurung tradition in Labuku Village not only serves as a cultural celebration but also embodies the community's deep religiosity and steadfast beliefs.
10 "Maccera" means "dripping blood," and "To Manurung" signifies a bearer of positive teachings.
11 The rituals in the Maccera Manurung tradition involve the slaughter of chickens with specific criteria, cooked without seasoning, and shared by the community.
This helps maintain their connection to their cultural and religious roots.
This tradition not only strengthens identity and social bonds but also preserves the spiritual dimension.
This study is crucial due to the rapid social and cultural transformations occurring.
In the era of globalization and modernization, many local traditional customs, including Maccera Manurung, face the risk of being neglected and a decline in the intensity of their practice.
Maccera Manurung, which is an essential part of the cultural and spiritual identity of the Labuku community, has the potential to lose its relevance if not well-preserved.
This study stands out from prior research in the field.
For instance.
Hasnah Baharuddin and Firman .
focused more on the acculturation between Maccera Manurung culture and Islamic teachings and the changes in the implementation of the traditional ceremony,12 while Sitti Fatimah Dwi Putri .

God, fellow humans, and nature, ensuring that tradition remains integral to village life and cultural Local tradition is not only a cultural heritage but also wisdom in understanding the world and a determinant of livelihood.
Tradition is considered knowledge that is collectively inherited and becomes an inseparable part of local culture.
Traditions can emerge spontaneously from below or be imposed by powerful individuals, without affecting the values of the tradition 21 A concrete example is the Maccera Manurung tradition in Labuku Village, which demonstrates how cultural heritage can develop according to both ways of emergence.
This tradition is deeply rooted in the collective consciousness of the Labuku community, not only as a ritual but as a practice that values the environment and spirituality.
The Maccera Mannurung tradition is a ritual rich in meaning and spiritual value, which continues to be preserved by the community of Labuku Village.

Maccera Mannurung has become more than just a local ritual.

La Ode Ismail Ahmad social cohesion,23 making it a vital foundation for solidarity and community integrity in the modern Maccera Manurung is olds significant importance for Labuku descendants who have migrated, prompting their return to the hometown to partake in the tradition, symbolized by bringing animals like chickens, goats, or cattle as a gesture of commitment and reverence.
This vow symbolizes a deep commitment to the tradition and serves as an expression of reverence and gratitude towards God for the blessings bestowed upon the participants.
From the communityAos perspective, the animals brought must be perfect, reflecting perfection in the expression of 24 Besides being a ritual.
Maccera Manurung deepens ethical and religious values, strengthens spiritual bonds with God, and fosters solidarity within the community.
This tradition reflects obedience, compliance, and respect for God and ancestors, and serves as a means to deepen faith, increase gratitude, and express hopes for sustenance from natural wealth.
Maccera Manurung reminds of the importance of balance with nature and emphasizes values of togetherness, respect, and acknowledgment of GodAos greatness, making it a meaningful and positively impactful moment for the village community.
One of the reasons many Labuku descendants who have migrated return to their hometown to attend the Maccera Manurung event in person is because they have made a vow to bring animals, such as chickens, goats, or cows, if they succeed in their endeavors.
This vow serves as proof of their commitment and respect for tradition and also as a manifestation of gratitude to God for the blessings received.
In the eyes of the local community, the animals brought for slaughter must be perfect and without defects, as this is considered a symbol of perfection in expressing gratitude.
More than just a ritual.
Maccera Manurung holds deep meaning in instilling ethical and religious values.
This tradition is an important moment for strengthening the spiritual bond with Allah swt and fostering a sense of solidarity and togetherness within the community.
Religion is, of course, an extraordinary way of life for humanity, which is difficult to live without 25 For the Labuku village community.
Maccera Manurung is also an expression of obedience, compliance, and deep respect for Allah swt and their ancestors.
The noble values ingrained within the Labuku society over generations include principles of compassion, integrity, and community solidarity, reflecting a blend of local customs and universally recognized virtues.
To elaborate on the impact of values, provide specific instances of how these values shape soul development, personality, and national identity.

La Ode Ismail Ahmad Values serve as guiding principles in daily conduct, shaping individuals' character, fostering a sense of national identity, and nurturing social cohesion within the Labuku community.
27 One concrete example is the Maccera Mannurung tradition among the Labuku community, held annually as a form of gratitude for achievements and to fulfill promises.
This tradition involves individual or group commitments to fulfill their promises, whether through actions, offerings, or recognition of the blessings received.
28 Maccera Mannurung is not dependent on the age of the participants but rather on fidelity to promises, serving as a symbol of commitment and the strengthening of social bonds within the community.
Uceng explains that in the Maccera Mannurung tradition, the community makes promises to Allah as a form of spiritual commitment and expression of gratitude for the blessings received.
These promises often involve bringing chickens, goats, or cattle, with specific conditions such as red chickens with yellow legs.
29 In Islam, making promises is allowed as long as it does not violate Sharia law, but it is important to keep oneAos word to avoid hypocrisy if promises cannot be fulfilled.
30 This tradition also highlights the importance of adhering to rules and customs deemed significant by the community.
Uceng adds that this tradition serves as tawassul, a method of drawing closer to Allah.
31 Although tawassul is not obligatory and prayers will still be accepted without it, it is considered a means for prayer and drawing closer to Allah.
Tawassul is merely a method and does not influence the acceptance of prayers.
what matters most is praying directly to Allah with sincerity.
There are two perspectives on the relationship between religion and culture.
The first perspective argues that religion, as a sacred reality,33 should be separated from culture to preserve its sanctity.
34 The second perspective views religion and culture as interdependent and inseparable elements,35 where religion requires culture to be accepted within society, and culture needs religion to channel positive energy.
36 The interconnection between religion and culture is reflected in the 27 Fitria Shalza Rahmaniar et al.

La Ode Ismail Ahmad acceptance of religious values through culture, while culture is the result of human efforts to overcome obstacles and find inner peace.
Both are integral parts of social life,37 reflecting the complex relationship between spiritual values and cultural aspects in society.
The implementation of the maccera manurung tradition is interpreted by the local community as an expression of gratitude to Allah swt, as evidenced by the presence of religious figures and the lack of opposition to this tradition, indicating that while methods of expressing gratitude may differ, the ultimate goal remains the same: to express gratitude to Allah swt.
Differences in methods should not be seen as conflicts, as those who are grateful recognize the various blessings given by God.
38 The level of spirituality and religiosity of an individual affects their level of gratitude, with higher religiosity potentially predicting a higher level of gratitude.
The quality of gratitude can reduce symptoms of depression39 and contribute to a better quality of life, as well as bring inner peace and well-being in daily life.
Harmonizing the Value of Welfare in the Tradition of Maccera Manurung in the Community of Labuku Village The Maccera Manurung tradition in the Labuku community is a crucial part of maintaining the balance between humans, nature, and the spiritual beliefs of the local community.
This ritual is prepared well in advance, starting with a pilgrimage to the ancestors' graves three days before the main celebration, followed by communal efforts to clean the venue two days prior, and finalizing preparations the day before the event.
The committee involved does this voluntarily, without expecting material rewards, purely for the sake of divine approval, spiritual merit, and the preservation of tradition.
40 The timing of the event is adjusted to allow participants from outside the city or island to join.
41 The spirit of togetherness and sincerity underlying each stage of this process makes it a manifestation of profound spiritual and social values.
In the implementation of the Maccera Manurung tradition, the community gathers with offerings of chickens and goats.
Red chickens with yellow legs must be brought in pairs as a symbol of bravery and honor.
Goat offerings are more flexible and do not need to be in pairs, depending on the individualAos intention.

, which ensures that the chickens or goats are ready and pure for slaughter by Imang.
In the process of animal slaughter according to Islamic law, several steps must be followed to ensure compliance with Shariah requirements and to receive blessings.
First, a sincere intention and prayer should be recited before beginning the slaughter, as a form of worship and obedience to Allah.
For chickens, slaughter is done by cutting the neck using the correct technique to ensure the animal dies in a halal manner.
Meanwhile, slaughtering goats, especially in the Maccera manurung tradition, involves a more complex process.
The goat is bathed to ensure cleanliness and purity, followed by special arrangements such as sprinkling rice on the goatAos body as a symbol of sustenance, and providing a chicken to eat the rice.
The chicken is then slaughtered over the goat with the hope that its blood will touch the goat, symbolizing purification and submission.
After that, the goat is slaughtered, marking submission to Allah.
45 In the Maccera Manurung process, the chicken is divided into two parts, right and left, according to strict traditional rules.
The right part is cooked with bamboo without salt, symbolizing simplicity and self-control, while the left part is cooked with a pot and seasoned with salt to taste, representing freedom and personal expression.
This distinction reflects the division of treatment that aligns with cultural norms.
After cooking, the chicken is moved to a collection area before the Massambo ritual begins.
This ritual, led by the tamatoa, involves prayers and a moment for the community to tinjaAo or make personal promises for their future hopes.
46 Massambo is not just the final stage of the traditional process but also a symbol of the connection between culture, spirituality, and community identity, emphasizing the importance of tradition and belief in the communityAos life.
