Ujung Karang is a coastal area visited by many local tourists and is also open to national and international tourism. Yet, there have been some teenagers, youths and young women who have traveled to these tourism regions and violated Islamic law by conducting khalwat such as at dimly lit cafes. The purpose of this study is to explore strategies, roles, functions, and obstacles faced by Wilayatul Hisbah when carrying out their duties in Ujung Karang. The research method used is a qualitative method with a constructivist paradigm. Data collection technique involves mainly in-depth interviews with key informants from Wilayatul Hisbah’s personnel, community leaders, and religious leaders.
