The tradition of marriage gift money (uang hantaran) in the Malay community of Melibur Village, Talang Muandau District, Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province, remains a customary practice preserved as a symbol of respect for the bride’s family and a sign of the groom’s seriousness. However, over time, its meaning has shifted toward materialism, as the amount is often determined by social status, educational background, and family prestige, potentially causing economic burdens, psychological pressure, delays, and even the cancellation of marriages. This study aims to describe the practice of uang hantaran and formulate an Islamic legal reconstruction of the tradition in accordance with the principle of simplicity. This research is a field research employing a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and were analyzed descriptively and analytically using the maslahahmursalah approach in Islamic law. The findings indicate that the practice of uang hantaran in Melibur Village is still maintained as part of local custom; however, its implementation has shifted from a symbolic function to a materialistic one, resulting in economic pressure on the groom’s family, psychological burdens on prospective spouses, and delays in marriage. From the perspective of maslahahmursalah, uang hantaran may be categorized as maslahahhajiyyah when determined flexibly and without imposing hardship, but it becomes mafsadah when the amount is excessive and causes harm. Therefore, the reconstruction of Islamic law regarding this tradition emphasizes that uang hantaran is not a legal requirement for marriage but rather a complementary customary practice whose determination should be based on deliberation, mutual consent, economic capability, and the principle of simplicity (taysir), so that it does not hinder the objectives of marriage in Islam.

The purchase can be in the form of goods or money, as found by researchers regarding the phenomenon of money politics which is still widespread in three regions, namely , Kijang Bintan, Kawal Bintan, and Lingga, people who are still relatively ignorant and have economic constraints are one of the factors in society being entangled in giving and receiving political money. Apart from damaging democracy due to forms of fraud, this problem has a negative impact on the givers and recipients who have clearly violated the provisions of the election law and violated criminal provisions.

Giving gifts or souvenirs among young people with flower bouquets has become common place, unfortunately the flower bouquets we give often wither and become trash. One alternative substitute for souvenirs or flower bouquet gifts is a snack bouquet. Giving a snack bouquet not only cheap and affordable, it also provides more benefits because we can eat the snacks. The Trend of giving souvenirs or gifts in the form of a bouquet of snacks can be a form of business for young people, especially for the teenagers of the Kasih Ibu Bangkinang Orphanage. After this activity, it is hoped that teenagers can develop an entrepreneurial spirit and will grow into creative individuals. The problem of teenagers at Kasih Ibu Orphanage is that they do not have insight into entrepreneurship and there is a lack of activities that build their creativity and skills. Therefore, training is needed to increase understanding of education about entrepreneurship and a spirit of creativity that is trained at an early age, which is the main capital for their productivity and independence when they grow up. For sustainability programs, because children's entrepreneurship cannot be carried out alone, guidance and support from adults, assistants in orphanages and teachers are needed. Providing opportunities for teenagers to learn to do business (entrepreneurship) from a young age is not oriented towards making money, but rather to train independence, by relying on their creativity.

Humans are basically spiritual beings. Because, a person can mentally react to something. Humans have always tried to relate to the divine. So the relationship with the god is in the form of worship. The concept of worship in both the Old and New Testaments is the same concept. The Hebrew word for century and the Greek for the beginning of latreia denote the occupation of slaves. And to perform "worship". Before Allah, then His servants must bow down in fear of adoration full of awe, awe and respect. This is the concept behind one's operation in every sacrificial activity in every ministry. Likewise with the implementation of public worship believing in the Lord Jesus. Human sacrifices given as thanksgiving offerings to God are part of worship. No after service offers. This is because the offer is not simply a symbol of giving with what one has, whether in money, or in kind, or in some other way. But the best thing about an offer is that to whom the offer is made the Lord Jesus must be based on faith or the right foundation of a gift from someone else or for some other purpose. Almost all forms of worship are carried out by Sunday schools for children, youth, youth, mothers, fathers, parents, Sunday services and other services bringing offerings of thanks for being part of the service. But the gift must be well understood and taken seriously.
