While secondary data, namely documentation of customary decisions in the Semerap Kedepatian customary area. Data collection techniques were used in the observation, interview, and documentary research. The data analysis technique used is data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing (verification).

The issues of the Islamic law that were decided included marriage (dowry), sunnah worship (terawih prayers and distribution of qurban meat), and once agreed on the issue of ushul (zakat). The practice of establishing Islamic law in the Kedepatian Semerap area was carried out at the gedang house, which was attended by four elements consisting of elements of depati ninik mamak and elements of ulama, elements of tonggak pemarang (post-duty ninik mamak), and elements of cerdik pandai. Determination of Islamic law is carried out by deliberation and consensus, and if no agreement is reached, the depati will use his prerogative rights in making legal decisions.
