This study concludes that the Munggahan tradition in Sundanese culture is an ancestral cultural heritage that is maintained by the Sundanese people to the present, as an effort to preserve Sundanese culture which is part of the cultural wealth in Indonesia, which has many benefits and contains Islamic religious values. In Islamic law, this uploading tradition is allowed. Although in Islamic law, the Munggahan tradition does not contain texts in the Qur'an, but the Munggahan tradition does not contradict, nor neglect the syar'i propositions, and the existence of this tradition is accepted especially in the Sundanese, and has a lot of wisdom and benefits. Apart from being a culture, the Munggahan tradition also has Islamic values, namely the values of faith, practice, worship, local wisdom and the value of ukhuwah Islamiyah. With the Munggahan tradition, it is hoped that it can maintain the treasures of Indonesian culture which also adheres to Islamic teachings.
