Keywords:
Customary law, Islamic law, Hermeneutics, Minangkabau, Traditional poetryAbstract
The relationship between Minangkabau customs and Islam is often a topic of discussion in the realm of research. This is related to the matrilineal kinship system and Islam. The purpose of this study is to describe the relationship between Minangkabau customs and Islamic law in Minangkabau Traditional Poetry with Paul Ricouer hermeneutic approach. This research method is a qualitative study with a content analysis approach. The data was analyzed with symbolic, metaphorical, and interpretive stages. The results of this research show that in the Minangkabau Traditional Rhyme, it specifically shows that Islam underlies everything that is regulated in traditional life in Minangkabau. The Pillars of Islam are also separately contained in the Minangkabau Traditional Rhymes which show that Islamic rules are the basis for determining customary law in Minangkabau. The results of this study have implications for strengthening the legitimacy of the Minangkabau matrilineal system in the context of Muslim society and become a reference in resolving potential conflicts between customary law and Islamic law in the community.
