The rapo-rapoang tradition is a series of pre-wedding processions for the Bugis people of South Konawe. This tradition becomes a medium for spiritual communication between understanding customs and Islamic law in formulating the goals of marriage, so this issue needs special attention in the study of maqāṣid al-sharī’ah. This research aims to reveal the practice of spiritual communication through the South Konawe Bugis wedding rapo-rapoang tradition from a maqāṣid al-sharī’ah perspective. This research is qualitative research with an empirical-normative approach which includes the results of observations and interviews with religious leaders, traditional leaders and community leaders and includes a literature review that is in synergy with this research. The results of the research show that the rapo-rapoang tradition is practiced through four stages, namely mental, physical and spiritual preparation, religious and traditional education, family deliberation and congratulatory prayer. Spiritual communication in the rapo-rapoang tradition is an effort to integrate previous community understanding (pappaseng to riolo) with the concept of Islamic teachings and convey it to prospective brides and grooms. The rapo-rapong tradition in practice is in line with the provisions of Islamic law. In fact, if this tradition is analyzed from a maqāṣid al-sharī’ah perspective, it is found to be a form of support for achieving the goals of Islamic marriage. Therefore, ijtihad regarding the concept of achieving the goals of Islamic marriage through certain traditions implemented by Muslim communities throughout the world needs attention, in order to preserve culture and traditions within the circle of Islamic sharia.

This paper discusses the wedding tradition which has various versions in the process according to the culture and context in which the marriage is carried out. The wedding tradition in question is a series of processions leading to marriage. One of the unique wedding processions is the Bugis traditional wedding called Mapacci. This Mapacci tradition is interesting to study in relation to the perspective if it is seen from the difference in social stratification in its implementation between the nobility or ordinary people. This paper is studied using the theory of Semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce, according to Peirce, human life is characterized by the mixing of signs and how they are used in representative activities. The social system is related to the integration function by controlling the components that make up society, finally the cultural system is related to the function of maintaining existing patterns or structures by setting up norms and values that motivate them to take an action. The results of the study indicate that the meaning contained in the traditional mappacci process is a form of hope and prayer, for the welfare and happiness of the prospective bride and groom which is combined in a summary of words (mappacci) of 9 kinds of equipment that must be prepared and moved not only for the nobility but all the indigenous people of Bugis.

Marriage is the most fundamental social institution in human society. Applying the comparative method, this paper aims at analyzing within the scope of marital and familial aspects of Chinese and Western culture, revealing specifically the underlying causes of the differences demonstrated in traditional Chinese and Western marriage culture. The paper finds that behind the apparent ritual practices, China and the West have different principles and priorities rooted in their ideological distinctions, namely, the differences in ethical foundations as well as family values. Chinese people, under the overwhelming influence of Confucian doctrines, regard parents as the sole authority in marriage, and ancestor worship has become the ultimate goal in the whole process, urging couples to conform to an extended family. In contrast, their western counterparts give priority to religious significance, and marriage is viewed as a divine unity of the two, which can be independent from large family relations thus forming a nuclear family of their own.
