Abstract

The Damar tradition practiced by the Kilili community on the 27th night of Ramadan represents a local cultural heritage rich in spiritual and social values. This tradition is manifested through symbolic elements such as lanterns, miniature houses (ruma aisaur), small sailing boats (ang damar), and traditional dishes (tamtam). It is not only understood as a form of respect for ancestors but also as a means of strengthening solidarity and communal togetherness. This study aims to explain the meaning of the Damar tradition from the perspective of Islamic law through the concept of ‘urf, and to highlight its role in reinforcing social integration within the Kilili community. The research employs a qualitative-descriptive method with an Islamic legal anthropology approach. The findings indicate that the Damar tradition can be classified as ‘urf shahih since it does not contradict Islamic principles and provides social benefits. Furthermore, the tradition serves as a medium of social integration, bringing together all community members in collective participation, strengthening social cohesion, and affirming the collective identity of the Kilili society.
