2. Customary customs (interpretation of the natural law of

the sunatullah).
3. Adat teradat (rules based on interpretations of actual

adat and adat that are adat).

4. Customs (customs based on deliberation).
The first two types of customs are very principled and

cannot be changed, namely the actual customs and
customs that are customary which in adat are called

customs that are timeless because of heat and do not rot
because of rain, these customary principles make the

Minang people fundamentalists for things related to

belief (faith). The last two types of customs, namely
customary customs and customs, are flexible and can

change according to the times. This means that the
Minang people are also very inclusive (open) to the

idea of renewal. Therefore, Minang custom contains
two characteristics that influence each other and attract

each other, on the one hand it is fundamentalist and on

the other hand it is inclusive (open), responsive
(responding to the challenges of the times).

However, Minang customs are not static as is stated in

mamangan: cloth is worn old, custom is used new.
