THE ISSUE OF PRESERVING RELIGIOUS LAW OF CHAM ISLAM WOMEN IMMIGRANT TO HO CHI MINH CITY (Case Study in Cu Chi District)

Abstract

The study employs qualitative survey data to examine how Cham Muslim women from An Giang, who have migrated to Ho Chi Minh City, maintain their religious precepts through clothing, religious practices, dietary restrictions, and social communication norms. The research findings indicate that the interaction process within the urban context significantly influences the adherence to religious precepts among this demographic. The adherence to religious precepts varies among individuals, influenced by their respective levels of compliance. The study indicates that the factors directly influencing the adherence to religious precepts among Cham Muslim immigrant women include employment, age, and marital status..
