Introduction
Indonesia, being the most populous Muslim nation globally, draws significant attention to the forefront in matters concerning the implementation of Islamic family law elements, encompassing domains like matrimonial affairs, inheritance protocols, and divorce procedures. 1 This focus extends not only within Indonesia itself but also resonates within the broader Islamic 1 Mark R Woodward, "Indonesia, Islam, and the Prospect for Democracy," SAIS Rev.

The Shifting Meaning of Walīmatul'Urs Syufa'at and Muchimah  DOI: 10.22373/sjhk.v7i3.187651517 Society 5.0 serves to cultivate individuals' consciousness of technology.The framework of Society 5.0 represents a refinement of antecedent paradigms, historically characterized as follows: Society 1.0 denoted the era of hunting and rudimentary script; Society 2.0 encompassed the agricultural epoch, marked by agrarian pursuits; Society 3.0 marked the advent of industrialization, when machines were integrated into daily activities; Society 4.0 marked the era of computer and internet integration; and finally, Society 5.0 constitutes a phase wherein technology becomes an intrinsic facet of human existence, and the internet transcends its role as a mere information-sharing tool to become an integral component of daily life. 6he accessibility of the internet greatly facilitates the discovery of novel insights across diverse domains.A central aspect of this research pertains to the evolution observed in the execution of wedding festivities or walīmatul 'urs, with a particular emphasis on discerning trends within celebrity circles. 7Prominent Indonesian Muslim celebrities have spearheaded numerous innovations, spanning from pioneering novel trends and distinctive paradigms to fashioning unique models and even infusing symbolism into their nuptial occasions.This innovative drive has yielded a spectrum of diverse wedding celebration concepts (walīmatul 'urs).Demonstrating a keen willingness to invest substantial financial resources, they have embraced elements of Western culture during these sacred and momentous instances.Muslim celebrities, in this context, are not treated as a subject of concern within this study.Nonetheless, this endeavor serves as empirical validation of the intricate interplay between Sharia-compliant marriage tenets and the contemporary way of life, influenced by Western cultural norms and technological progress. 8 Among the list of popular celebrity unions, the nuptials of Tasya Farasya and Ahmad Assegaf in 2018 stand out.Spanning seven days and nights, this grand event drew the presence of dignitaries, including Jakarta's Governor, Anies Baswedan.With an expenditure amounting to billions of rupiah, this wedding earned distinction as the most extravagant and high- The Shifting Meaning of Walīmatul'Urs Syufa'at and Muchimah  DOI: 10.22373/sjhk.v7i3.187651518 priced among Indonesia's public figures.9Likewise, Raffi Ahmad and Nagita Slavina orchestrated a wedding affair of comparable grandeur.The matrimonial union of these two prominent artists was even showcased exclusively on a private television network.Consequently, it comes as no surprise that Raffi and Nagita's nuptial celebration is widely regarded as one of the most lavish weddings of its era.Allegedly, this matrimonial extravaganza, taking place on October 17, 2014, commanded an expenditure reaching up to 10 billion Indonesian rupiah. 10imilarly, Nia Ramadhani and Ardi Bakrie embarked on their matrimonial journey at an equivalent expense.Executed with opulence, their wedding, held on April 1, 2010, seamlessly integrated the traditions of Sundanese and Lampung cultures.Furthermore, celebrity influencers Rachel Vennya and Niko Al Hakim orchestrated an immensely lavish wedding, drawing inspiration from the enchanting Cinderella fairy tale narrative.Despite the dissolution of their marital union, the wedding of Rachel and Niko had, at one point, claimed the distinction of being the most sumptuous.Their matrimonial ceremony, which took place on February 4, 2017, at Balai Sudirman in Jakarta, was conceived with an enchanting fairyland motif, incurring expenses amounting to an estimated 5 billion Indonesian rupiah. 11hese splendid wedding celebrations align with the findings of a 2018 survey conducted by Knot, which involved thirteen hundred participants.The survey explored the financial outlay associated with preparing for wedding attendance and related festivities.The results indicated an average expenditure of up to US $250 solely for wedding gifts, and an additional US $98 for attire, excluding accessories. 12he inclusion of walīmatul'urs within Islamic matrimonial rites serves a dual purpose.It functions not only as a mechanism for disseminating news regarding the ongoing marriage but also as a manifestation of the Islamic ethos to extend joy to others, notably by distributing meals to neighbors, the The Shifting Meaning of Walīmatul'Urs Syufa'at and Muchimah  DOI: 10.22373/sjhk.v7i3.18765indigent, orphaned children, and fellow Muslims.Nevertheless, the presence of manifold cultural divergences generates distinct construals and ramifications in the execution of walīmatul 'urs, aligned with the wishes of the betrothed pair.Culture significantly influences the arrangement of this wedding celebration (walīmatul 'urs).Islamic precepts concerning walīmatul 'urs endorse flexibility for adherents to innovate, as long as these innovations remain within the parameters of Islamic norms. 13s posited by Geertz, culture encompasses the entirety of human endeavors undertaken both individually and collectively.It carries inherent significance, exhibiting a holistic nature encompassing physical-material aspects, moral dimensions, spiritual facets, and more.Culture incorporates distinct symbols and is passed down through generations, thereby facilitating human communication, the preservation of knowledge, and the evolution of attitudes in the multifaceted realm of existence. 14This viewpoint underscores that culture fundamentally emerges from human endeavors, encompassing values, human conduct, and tangible artifacts.The cultural repertoire possessed by humans holds the potential for evolution in tandem with temporal progression.Conversely, culture wields the capacity to shape human dispositions and conduct, perpetuating itself across generations through the conduit of social interactions. 15his research delves into the walīmatul 'urs ceremonies orchestrated by numerous Muslim celebrities within Indonesia.On one aspect, these celebrities undertake matrimonial contracts in line with Islamic jurisprudence, while concurrently organizing opulent wedding celebrations replete with Western-inspired concepts, entailing substantial expenditures.The study accentuates the evolving connotation of walīmatul 'urs within contemporary Society 5.0, characterized by the prominence of information technology as a mechanism for shaping human conduct.Additionally, it examines how the The Shifting Meaning of Walīmatul'Urs Syufa'at and Muchimah  DOI: 10.22373/sjhk.v7i3.18765walīmatul 'urs framework adopted by Muslim celebrities could potentially serve as a guiding exemplar for a broader audience.
While investigations into walīmatul 'urs have been a recurrent pursuit, scholarly attention has yet to be directed towards scrutinizing weddings within the realm of Muslim celebrities.Research endeavors have centered on deciphering the significance of walīmatul 'urs within select Muslim societies, with inquiries extending to locales such as the Rejang Lebong community in Bengkulu, Indonesia. 16The study yields insights into the prevailing comprehension and perception held by individuals when it comes to comprehending weddings, characterizing them as unifying agents within a culturally diverse society.Additional scholarly investigations broach the subject of the lawful constraints prescribed by Islamic jurisprudence concerning the execution of walīmatul 'urs.This entails the imperative of aligning the execution with the capacities of the betrothed individuals, ensuring prudence against extravagance or redundancy.Furthermore, the practice must abstain from motives that contravene Islamic tenets, such as arrogance, ostentation of affluence, or any activities inconsistent with religious precepts. 17 Concerning the examination of food and beverage consumption during the walīmatul 'urs occasion, especially in the context of a standing gathering, elucidation is furnished by the research conducted by Mardiastuti. 18 This study underscores that Islamic principles prohibit the indulgence in excessive eating and drinking, while concurrently emphasizing the recommendation to partake in sustenance while seated, in accordance with the precepts espoused by Islamic teachings.
The aforementioned studies encompass distinct perspectives compared to the content of this present article.This article elucidates the interpretation and construct of walīmatul 'urs as observed within the context of celebrity weddings.Although divergent in approach, the previously conducted studies have nonetheless furnished empirical data that contributes to the foundation of this article.The primary aim of this article is to foster comprehension and 16 Sutarto,et.al.,Konstruksi Makna Tradisi Walimatul 'Ursy…, Moh Yasir Alimi, "Islam as Drama: Wedding Rites and the Theatricality of Islam in South Sulawesi," The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology 15, no. 3 (2014), p. 265-85.18 Aprilia Mardiastuti, "Syariat Makan Dan Minum Dalam Islam: Kajian Terhadap Fenomena Standing Party Pada Pesta Pernikahan (Walīmatul 'Ursy)," Jurnal Living Hadis 1, no. 1 (2016), p. 151-76.

This study constitutes a qualitative empirical phenomenological study.Phenomenology, as a discipline, delves into the exploration of what becomes evident (phenomenon).Consequently, it serves as a scientific endeavor devoted to the examination of phenomena, rendering any research or discourse that examines the manifestation of phenomena essentially an exercise in phenomenology. 19Phenomenology in this study is based on 'empirical' and 'rational'.Empirical refers to knowledge acquired through scientific inquiry, which is derived as a method for examining social structure and human behavior.Rationale refers to investigating human behavior according to the premises and findings of scientific knowledge. 20As per Creswell's methodology, the data collection process entails four components: interviews, observations, documents, and audio-visual materials. 21Within this study, data collection adopted a tripartite approach comprising observations of phenomena, interviews, and documentation -the latter encompassing materials extracted from the internet and videos sourced from YouTube.The principal data sources stemmed from the period between 2020 and 2021.Supplementary data sources were gleaned from assorted websites to complement the primary data.Employing a qualitative approach, this study's analytical methodology rests upon media content analysis.

The Concept of Matrimonial Celebration in Islamic Law
Matrimony signifies a solemn pledge of union, wherein two individuals embark upon a binding commitment aimed at formalizing their marital connection in accordance with religious precepts, legal conventions, and societal mores. 22The ceremonial wedding feast, commonly denoted in Islam as walīmah al-'urs (walīmatul 'urs), remains inseparable from the nuptial event itself, for it serves as an integral facet of the marital contract, signifying the commencement of conjugal life.Linguistically, walimatul 'urs comprises two constituent terms: "al-walīmah" and "al-'urs".Al-walīmah conveys the concept of a gathering, while al-'urs signifies the act of matrimony.Consequently, "walīmatul 'urs" can be elucidated as an amalgamation of wedding events wherein numerous individuals assemble to partake in feasting and relish the presented cuisine. 23he prevailing consensus among scholars leans towards regarding walīmatul 'urs as a sunnah mu'akkad (strongly recommended practice). 24evertheless, a minority viewpoint, as posited by Ibn Ḥazm al-Andalusī, contends that it assumes an obligatory (wājib) status. 25Within Islam, the presence of walīmatul 'urs within marriage is a stipulated requirement.Walīmatul 'urs stands as both a celebration and an expression of gratitude subsequent to a marital contract, embodying the essence of notification and public proclamation regarding the introduction of a novel member or family unit.It also assumes the role of a juncture that rallies family and communal backing for the newlyweds.The foremost objective underlying walīmatul 'urs is to bolster the commitment between the bride and groom, necessitating its execution to be conducive to ushering them into a married life characterized by serenity, tranquility, and an abundance of affection or sakīnah mawaddah wa raḥmah. 26n opulent walīmatul 'urs does not ensure the realization of matrimonial objectives. 27Illustrated by the instance of Rachel Vennya and Niko Al Hakim's wedding, which embraced a Cinderella theme on January 7, 2017 -an affair of unparalleled luxury in Indonesia -the culmination of The Shifting Meaning of Walīmatul'Urs Syufa'at and Muchimah DOI: 10.22373/sjhk.v7i3.187651523 lavishness did not safeguard the longevity of their marital union. 28egrettably, their union was short-lived, culminating in divorce on February 16, 2021.The grandeur of a wedding celebration does not inherently guarantee the endurance of a marriage.Hence, Islamic teachings advocate for weddings to be conducted in a modest manner, while retaining the inherent significance they encompass. 29he execution of walīmatul 'urs is advised to be in accordance with the financial capacity of the marrying couple.Certain scholars contend that the stipulation regarding walīmatul 'urs is of a recommendatory nature rather than obligatory.However, unanimity prevails among the jurisprudential experts (fuqahā') who deem the hosting of an event or wedding celebration as a sunnah muakkadah, signifying its elevated status as a highly recommended practice.30Upon the occasion of Abdurrahman bin 'Auf's marriage, the Prophet Muhammad advised, "Mark the event with a festivity, even if it involves the sacrifice of a single goat".31Walīmatul 'urs signifies a matrimonial celebration that ensues subsequent to the formalization of the marriage contract.This festivity serves as a visual representation and emblematic indication to external communities that the individuals involved have entered into wedlock, thereby transitioning from a state of singleness. 32s elucidated within the Quran, specifically in Surah An-Nisa, Verse 21, marriage is depicted as an exceedingly robust and unyielding covenant, denoted as "mithāqan ghalīdhan".This term encapsulates the profound connection between spouses and extends to encompass their respective families as well. 33Its enactment not only entails the adherence to divine mandates but is also recognized as an act of worship devoted to the The Shifting Meaning of Walīmatul'Urs Syufa'at and Muchimah  DOI: 10.22373/sjhk.v7i3.18765Almighty. 34Walīmatul 'urs constitutes an integral Islamic precept within the domain of marriage, having evolved into a customary practice and, in several cases, a perceived necessity for numerous individuals, manifested in either an extravagant or modest manner.The choice between these approaches is contingent upon the socio-economic circumstances of the marrying individuals.The sociological dimension of walīmatul 'urs, as it intersects with human existence, is discernible in its underlying purpose: the announcement of marital union as a consequential social phenomenon within society.This custom encompasses the application of sunnah principles for the benefit of the wedded couple.As such, the orchestration of walīmatul 'urs is heavily influenced by a multitude of factors, encompassing not solely social and economic considerations but also bearing the weight of tradition and cultural mores.

The Meaning of Walīmatul 'Urs among Muslim Celebrities in the Era of Society 5.0
Marriage and walīmatul 'urs stand as pivotal Islamic doctrines, imbued with the essence of worship.Nevertheless, their enactment within the Muslim community demonstrates variances influenced by local cultural circumstances, entrenched traditions, and the evolving socio-economic dynamics characteristic of societal existence.This phenomenon is similarly observed among celebrities, where the essence of walīmatul 'urs has undergone multiple shifts, coinciding with the advent of the Society 5.0 era.This transformation in meaning serves as an indication of the broadening, constriction, nuanced signification, interlinked symbolism, and interplay of a teaching's significance that remains dynamic within a semantic realm.The initial point of reference remains unchanged, yet it retains the capacity for expansion or reduction in connotation. 35s previously indicated, the execution of walīmatul 'urs within Muslim societies is shaped by cultural and customary elements, alongside social and economic considerations, and is further influenced by educational factors and religious comprehension.Similarly, the execution of walīmatul The Shifting Meaning of Walīmatul'Urs Syufa'at and Muchimah  DOI: 10.22373/sjhk.v7i3.18765'urs within the realm of Muslim celebrities has undergone a transformation, evolving from the observance of the Prophet's sunnah into a celebratory event that at times tilts towards hedonism and opulence.This conclusion derives from insights gleaned through a series of interviews presented numerous YouTube podcasts.In a comprehensive assessment, the significance inherent in the execution of walīmatul 'urs within the celebrity domain can be bifurcated into two distinct interpretations: explicit and inferred meanings.The explicit connotation of walīmatul 'urs is outlined as follows.

As a form of expression of gratitude to God and happiness
The performance of walīmatul 'urs, undertaken by numerous celebrities, is extensively televised through media outlets, such as the cases involving Sutrisna, also known as Sule, and Nathalie Holscher, which was aired live on Rans Entertainment on November The Shifting Meaning of Walīmatul'Urs Syufa'at and Muchimah  DOI: 10.22373/sjhk.v7i3.187651526 artists, unfolds before the eyes of the general public through mass media platforms.Spanning from the ceremonial rituals to the festivity itself, the entire continuum is laid bare for global observation through the expansive reach of television and social media networks. 38This opulent and elaborate manifestation of walīmatul 'urs is of such grandeur that it has brought about a discernible shift in the fundamental connotation of its underlying essence.Initially conceived as an expression of gratitude towards the divine, an emblem of parental relinquishment of a daughter to her spouse, an official testament of marital commitment, a herald of a fresh chapter in the lives of the newlyweds, a manifestation of the sociological implications inherent in a marital contract, and a public proclamation signifying the lawful union of the bride and groom, walīmatul 'urs has experienced a transition into an indelible occasion.In this evolution, walīmatul 'urs has evolved into an unforgettable moment, demanding an atmosphere of exhilaration palpable not only to the attendees but also to all witnesses. 39

Providing advantages to attendees
Walīmatul 'urs constitutes a commemorative event organized subsequent to the formalization of the matrimonial commitment, serving the purpose of announcing to society the legal union of the betrothed couple. 40Within Islamic literature, walīmatul 'urs is delineated as a distinct ceremonial feast associated with weddings, meant to be executed with a sense of simplicity rather than opulence, with the fundamental intention being the proclamation of the establishment of a new household.In accordance with Islamic teachings, walīmatul 'urs necessitates the invitation of close relatives, immediate family members, friends, and neighbors residing in proximity to the residence. 411527 Nevertheless, the observable trend among celebrities diverges notably from the conventional practice, as it entices participation from a myriad of individuals representing diverse social spheres.An illustrative instance is Atta Halilintar, who orchestrated his wedding celebration within the premises of a five-star hotel, extending invitations to his YouTube subscribers. 42This phenomenon underscores a transformative shift in the connotation of walīmatul 'urs, with invited guests transcending the confines of relatives and neighbors, now encompassing individuals from the digital realm, such as social media subscribers.Similarly, the walīmatul 'urs of Lesti and Billar assumed the role of a promotional platform for branded merchandise, capitalizing on their status as influencers to garner sponsorship. 43This parallels the scenario observed during Sule and Nathalie's wedding, which was broadcasted live on Rans Entertainment and featured a blend of advertisements interwoven into the event's proceedings. 44he original intent of conferring benefits upon invited guests has undergone a twofold evolution in this scenario.Firstly, the intention to provide advantages remains valid, evident through the provision of an array of edibles, beverages, and even tokens of appreciation.However, concurrently, the profusion of consumables and tokens has ushered in an augmented intention, encompassing a symbiotic transaction.This is exemplified by the proclivity of celebrities to undertake engagements that secure sponsorships from diverse product lines.Beyond affording the walīmatul 'urs organizers the advantages of sponsorships, this practice also redounds to comparable benefits for the product proprietors (sponsors) themselves.Their merchandise acquires real-time promotion on television and social media platforms, which subsequently acquaints a broader audience with their offerings.Naturally, the fervent followers of these celebrities become more informed about these products, potentially translating into purchases and emulation of the showcased items, along with the adopted style of the celebrities' walīmatul 'urs.
1528 3. Once in a lifetime moment with luxury concepts Celebrities have orchestrated their walīmatul 'urs with remarkable grandeur, some of which have even been broadcasted live on television channels, under the premise of seizing an unparalleled, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that merits unwavering attention.This trajectory serves as a conduit to bolster the conceptual framework that underpins the unique designs preferred by celebrities in shaping their matrimonial ceremonies.
A notable illustration is the instance of Ria Ricis, who envisioned a princess-themed concept to grace her momentous occasion. 45Likewise, Atta Halilintar and Aurel imbued their celebration with familial motifs, encompassing three distinctive traditional themes-Javanese, Padang, and modern Muslim, culminating in the extraordinary gesture of inviting the President of the Republic of Indonesia to officiate as a witness to their union. 46undamentally, walīmatul 'urs serves to fortify the resolve of the newlyweds, ensuring that its execution propels them towards a resilient and joyous marital journey. 47The scale of walīmatul 'urs is invariably informed by regional traditions, as it constitutes a means of conveying gratitude to the divine.Consequently, its realization should encompass a character of modesty, convenience, and enjoyment, mirroring the sentiment of appreciation.Hence, the orchestration of walīmatul 'urs ought to be calibrated to the financial capacities of each household, in a manner that safeguards against undue strain or any inadvertent debt accumulation. 48 The Shifting Meaning of Walīmatul 'Urs Among Sebelebritis According to Islamic Law Regarding the connotation inferred from the opulence of celebrities' walīmatul 'urs, two facets emerge, elucidated as follows: 1. Transformation of secondary necessities into primary requisites The custom of walīmatul 'urs, a practice that endures from the pre-Islamic Arabian era, remains as a living tradition carried forward.The Prophet recognized the continuation of walīmatul 'urs, albeit with certain adaptations to align with Islamic tenets.In terms of legal standing, the implementation of walīmatul 'urs is regarded as sunnah (recommended), not obligatory. 49The essence of walīmatul 'urs encompasses invoking divine blessings, thereby fostering a harmonious life for the newlyweds.
Additionally, the event serves as a mechanism for announcing and disseminating information about the matrimony, precluding future aspersions against the couple.The observance of walīmatul 'urs indeed resides within the realm of sunnah, characterized by a discretionary nature and moderation.Consequently, walīmatul 'urs represents a supplementary aspect within the broader context of a marriage contract.However, commensurate with the progression of time, the significance of walīmatul 'urs has undergone a transformative shift, culminating in its elevation to a principal role.This transformation is palpably evident in the realm of celebrity marriages.The transition of walīmatul 'urs, originally a secondary facet, into a primary one is unmistakably discernible in this contemporary context.This phenomenon can be attributed to the intrinsic pursuit of primary requisites that manifest inherently when celebrities orchestrate walīmatul 'urs.
Notably, these requisites pertain to the advantageous correlation with their vocations as influential endorsers of commercial merchandise.In the case of celebrity nuptials, financial gains materialize through media coverage, consequently enhancing the commercial prospects inherent in their professional roles.50

Monetary exchanges are involved in this context
The televised presentation of celebrity wedding receptions signifies a paradigmatic shift within the realm of walīmatul 'urs, particularly when these occasions coincide with economic transactions serving as conduits for endorsing consumer products. 51This is especially noticeable as numerous prestigious brands promoted during these broadcasts serve as vehicles for marketing.Organizing an opulent event within an extravagant venue naturally entails substantial financial resources.The live telecast provided by television networks substantially alleviates the financial burden for the betrothed couple. 52Consequently, the original essence of walīmatul 'urs as a manifestation of gratitude towards the divine undergoes a transformation into an avenue for commercial transactions.
The framework of Society 5.0 is driven by an aspiration to foster advanced tiers of existence through technological progress, with the aim of mitigating future human disparities and economic challenges.Within the context of orchestrating walīmatul 'urs for Muslim celebrities, technology is harnessed as a conduit not only for broadcasting matrimonial unions but also for showcasing the organizers' prestige.
Simultaneously, the execution of such celebrity-driven walīmatul 'urs functions as an advertising platform for consumer goods, yielding noteworthy economic gains.The elucidation provided above underscores a discernible transformation in the interpretation of walīmatul 'urs within the Indonesian celebrity milieu.Initially entrenched in theological tenets-expressing gratitude to the divine, proclaiming matrimonial unions, and fostering communal elation-the concept has progressively undergone a repositioning towards socio-economic connotations, symbolized by opulence and prestige.Moreover, the original status of walīmatul 'urs, once relegated to a secondary dimension within the context of matrimony, has evolved into a primary focus, catalyzed by motives driven by economics, prominence amplification, augmentation of digital content, and augmentation of social media followers.This recalibration concurrently encompasses commercial influencer incentives, resulting in a multifaceted shift in the overarching significance of walīmatul 'urs.
Marriage stands as a pivotal rite of passage within the human journey, encompassing a category of rituals universally denoting the transition from one societal role to another. 53The wedding feast, commonly referred to as walīmatul 'urs, encapsulates an archetypal representation of the forthcoming social status, often conveyed through explicit verbal articulations such as marriage vows and speeches, or symbolically through ritualistic procedures.Irrespective of the mode of expression, this portrayal epitomizes the shared 52 Rans Entertainment, Eksklusif Pernikahan Sule Nathali -Sunnah until Jannah. 53Walter Edwards, Modern Japan Through Its Weddings: Gender, Person, and  Society in Ritual Potrayal (California: Stanford University Press, 1949), p. 12.

Conclusion
The findings of this investigation underscore a transformation in the significance of walīmatul 'urs (Islamic matrimonial festivities) within the context of Indonesian Muslim celebrities, which can be attributed in part to the technological strides of the Society 5.0 epoch.This alteration manifests itself through both implicit and explicit interpretations.In terms of explicit meaning, the initial essence and intent of walīmatul 'urs have shifted from being an act of gratitude towards the divine to a commemoration of felicity, often perceived as a singular lifetime occurrence.On the other hand, the implied meaning has undergone a transformation, the shift from the main goal of marriage according to Islamic family law to a sociological connotation that emphasizes social position and increases prestige.Moreover, walīmatul 'urs has been employed to augment economic advantages through the medium of information technology, catalyzing its progression from a secondary concern to a primary focus.Consequently, walīmatul 'urs has evolved into an emblematic portrayal of social status, frequently characterized by opulence and serving as a platform to augment one's societal standing.Within the contours of the Society 5.0 era, the implementation of walīmatul 'urs has been fortified by information technology, enabling it to reach a broader audience, while concurrently harnessing commercial elements to attain economic gains.
Undoubtedly, the evolution of wedding festivities has indeed engendered a transformation in the very essence of walīmatul 'urs.36Thisphenomenon is well illustrated in South Sumatra, where the execution of walīmatul 'urs has been employed as a platform to elevate the social standing of the bride and her family within the neighboring community.37Beyondthelivebroadcast,walīmatul'urspossesses the potential to elevate prestige to an even more elevated echelon.This raises the question of what transpires when the walīmatul 'urs for public figures, including 36 DriSantoso, et.al., Harmony of Religion and Culture: Fiqh MunākahatPerspective on The Gayo Marriage Custom," Ijtihad: Jurnal Wacana Hukum Islam danKemanusiaan 22,  No. 2 (2022).Pergeseran Makna Esensi Pernikahan Di Kecamatan Pedamaran Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ilir Provinsi SumateraSelatan-Studi Kasus Sosiologi Hukum Keluarga," Al-Mabsut: Jurnal Studi Islam  Dan Sosial 16, no. 2 (2022), p. 169-84." 15, 2020.Additionally, the nuptial celebrations of Muhammad Attamimi Halilintar with Aurelia Nur Hermansyah were live-broadcasted on RCTI and MNC TV on April 3, 2021.Similarly, Indosiar featured the live broadcast of the walīmatul 'urs event of Rizky Billar and Lesti Kejora on August 21, 2021.Teuku Riyan's union with Ria Ricis, held on November 12, 2021, was also aired live on the MNC TV channel.Furthermore, the wedding of Via Vallen and Cevra, occurring on July 16, 2022, was broadcasted live on Indosiar.The public broadcast of these walīmatul 'urs events on television platforms is regarded by various celebrities as a manifestation of gratitude to God, symbolizing the felicity they currently experience. 37.A.K.Nurmala, Yusdani Yusdani, and Januariansyah Arfaizar, "
