        abstract = {This article examines how the Qur?anic condition of isti{\d t}{\=a}?ah (capability) in QS. {\=A}li ?Imr{\=a}n 3:97
is negotiated in Indonesian practices described as ?local {\d h}ajj.? Combining comparative analysis of
Qur?anic and exegetical sources with ethnographic material from Mount Lawu and Pamijahan, the
study shows that participants do not present these practices as fulfilling or replacing the canonical
obligation of {\d h}ajj in Mecca. Rather, they frame them as aspirational and symbolic forms of pilgrimage
under conditions of limited access. Classical exegesis demonstrates that isti{\d t}{\=a}?ah has been articulated
through material, physical, security, and spiritual registers, while field narratives draw on intention,
ease, and moral aspiration to interpret local ritual practice. Using Talal Asad?s notion of Islam as a
discursive tradition alongside scholarship on lived Islam, the article reads local {\d h}ajj as a site where
textual norms, local authority, and embodied practice are negotiated. It contributes to pilgrimage
studies and the study of global Islam by showing how Indonesian Muslims localize ritual aspiration
without claiming juridical equivalence with the canonical {\d h}ajj.}
