This study examines the Wedus Kendhit ritual in the bedah sumber tradition in

Blitar as a living law that reactivates maqashid syariah to build tolerance and agrarian social

justice. The objectives of this study are to describe the practice of the Wedus Kendhit ritual

as a living law, analyze the reactivation of maqashid syariah, and reveal its function in

realizing tolerance and social justice. The research method used a qualitative approach with

participant observation, in-depth interviews, and literature study techniques, analyzed

through ethnography, maqashid analysis, and functional analysis. The results show that the

Wedus Kendhit ritual is a flexible and adaptive living law, reflecting local ijtihad in

responding to agrarian needs. Maqashid analysis identifies the achievement of five sharia

objectives: preservation of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. This ritual embodies

tasamuh through inclusiveness and social justice through the equitable distribution of meat,

creating organic solidarity and the moral economy of farmers. In conclusion, Wedus Kendhit

offers a model for the re-actualization of sharia maqashid based on local wisdom that

contributes to social harmony and sustainable agriculture.
