This study aims to examine the practice of angkap marriage in the Gayo traditional community through the Maqashid Syariah perspective, especially in the aspect of safeguarding property (hifzh al-mal). angkap marriage is a form of social adaptation that arises as a solution to the problem of the absence of sons in a family, as well as the economic obstacles experienced by the male party in carrying out marriage, especially in terms of fulfilling the dowry or edet. This research uses a normative juridical method with a statute approach, namely by analyzing written legal norms and related maqashid sharia principles. The analysis technique used is qualitative. The results show that angkap marriage provides a practical solution in maintaining the continuity of family property through the appointment of a son-in-law as part of his wife's family. The implication is that the husband changes his position in the inheritance system and becomes the protector of his in-laws' property. This tradition does not substantially contradict Islamic law and instead reflects the objectives of Islamic law, namely maintaining benefits, strengthening family resilience, and keeping property in a safe and reliable environment.
