This study examines the pre-marital pingit tradition practised by the Javanese community in Bukit Kratai Village, Rumbio Jaya District, Kampar Regency, Riau, from the perspective of urf in Islamic law. The pingit tradition is a period of seclusion prior to the wedding, during which prospective brides and grooms are prohibited from leaving the house, encouraged to observe puasa mutih (white fasting), engage in self-care, and receive marital guidance from elders. This qualitative descriptive study employed a field research approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with customary leaders, religious figures, community leaders, and residents who had undergone pingit, as well as documentation. Findings show that the tradition lasts approximately two weeks in Bukit Kratai shorter than its original practice in Java of one to two months due to cultural acculturation among Javanese, Malay, and Batak communities in this transmigrant setting. From the perspective of urf in Islamic jurisprudence, the tradition is classified as urf shahih (valid custom) as it meets four criteria: rationally acceptable, socially beneficial, not contradicting the Qur'an or Sunnah, and widely practised within the community. The tradition aligns with Islamic values of preserving honour and purity before marriage as emphasised in Q.S Al-Ahzab: 33.
