The lecturers gave religious lectures regarding Islamic sharia guidelines regarding the prohibition of hanging the fate of marriage on days that are considered unlucky, namely through the implementation of PkM (Community Service). The implementation of PkM, which is scheduled to take place over three meetings, aims to broaden the insight of members of the Baiturrahman taklim assembly about the importance of straightening out beliefs, as well as prioritizing rational considerations in carrying out celebrations such as weddings.
