Abstract


ABSTRACT

Wedding ceremonies at present are increasingly celebrated on a large scale with various forms of receptions and meticulous preparations from the organisers. The cost required to organise various traditional wedding customs coupled with the current celebration trend seems to be increasing over time. As a result, young people who wish to hold a wedding ceremony can no longer be frugal on the provision of resources to manage wedding expenditures. Without proper management of wedding expenses, various risks related to failure in personal financial management may incur. Thus, this qualitative research is conducted to analyse the management patterns of wedding expenditures from the perspective of Islamic law. Data were collected through interviews with 20 married informants from Peninsular Malaysia. This research found that the main sources of expenditure used by the informants were from their respective savings. The study shows that the management of the informants’ wedding expenses is still in line with Islamic law. However, it is suggested that there should be specific guidelines in helping the community, especially young people who will set up a household, to manage their wedding expenses, particularly in matters relating to the sources of expenditure.

ABSTRAK

Majlis perkahwinan masa kini semakin disambut secara besar-besaran dengan pelbagai bentuk upacara dan persiapan yang rapi daripada pihak penganjur. Bagi meraikan pelbagai adat perkahwinan tradisional ditambah pula dengan trend sambutan semasa, kos yang diperlukan untuk menyempurnakan keseluruhan sambutan majlis perkahwinan semakin meningkat mengikut peredaran masa. Kesannya, pasangan muda yang ingin mengadakan majlis perkahwinan tidak boleh mengambil mudah lagi tentang penyediaan sumber perbelanjaan bagi menguruskan perbelanjaan perkahwinan. Tanpa pengurusan sumber perbelanjaan perkahwinan yang baik, mereka akan terdedah dengan pelbagai risiko berkaitan kegagalan pengurusan kewangan peribadi. Kajian yang berbentuk kualitatif ini telah menemu bual seramai 20 orang informan dari semenanjung Malaysia bertujuan untuk menganalisis corak pengurusan sumber perbelanjaan perkahwinan mereka dari perspektif syarak. Kajian ini menemui sumber perbelanjaan utama yang digunakan oleh informan adalah daripada wang simpanan dan tabungan masing-masing. Kajian menunjukkan pengurusan sumber perbelanjaan perkahwinan informan masih bertepatan dengan anjuran syarak. Namun kajian mencadangkan perlunya ada satu garis panduan khusus dalam membantu masyarakat, khususnya golongan muda mudi yang akan mendirikan rumah tangga untuk mengurus perbelanjaan perkahwinan mereka, khususnya dalam hal berkaitan penyediaan sumber perbelanjaan.
