According to traditional leaders, the stepper is required to maintain a good relationship withhis brother. However, if the stepper was burdensome or prevented his younger sibling from gettingmarried, the traditional leader revealed that this was not justified because the stepper could not beasked for a certain nominal value or certain items, only the awareness of his younger sibling. Inline with the opinion of traditional leaders, clerical figures reveal that stepping may be applied onthe basis of the rules of العادة Ù…ÙØَكَّمة , but this is not a necessity..

Based on the research data, the authors conclude that thetradition of stepping marriage money can be preserved because the tradition of stepping marriagemoney is not only a symbol of national identity, but also as a form of respect for older siblings whowill be stepped over and as a guardian of good family relations. Although it must be preserved, theremust be filtering and adjustments to fiqh so that there is no conflict between adat and fiqh. Some ofthe problems with stepping customs that must be filtered and adapted to fiqh include the prohibitionof marriage from older siblings to younger siblings who wish to marry. Barring his younger siblingfrom marrying is not justified in custom and in fiqh it can be forbidden because it can cause a lotof harm. In addition, things that are burdensome and troublesome for a person to get married mustalso be eliminated. The brother who is going to be stepped over must be able to accept whatever theyounger siblings give as a permit application to marry. Should not impose the ability of the youngersibling and must not burden the request of the younger sibling.]]>
