Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Islamic legal review of the use of incense in the tradition of praying for spirits carried out by the Kui tribe in Moru Village, Alor Barat Daya District, Alor Regency. This tradition is a cultural heritage of the Kui community which is carried out from generation to generation as a form of respect for ancestral spirits and an expression of gratitude to God. In its implementation, incense is used as part of the prayer process which is believed to be able to bring angels in the middle of the prayer process and convey prayers to God. The results of the study found that the use of incense in the tradition of praying for spirits in Moru Village, Alor Barat Daya District, Alor Regency is seen as a symbol of culture and a tradition passed down from ancestors that is still preserved to this day. It's just that there are slight violations of Islamic law, namely the belief that the smoke from incense directly brings prayers to God, summons deceased spirits through the smoke from incense, and also the smoke from incense is believed to be able to expel jinns.
