How Formal
Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'a custom or practice within Islam' is directly and compositionally derived from 'Muslim' (pertaining to Islam) + 'tradition' (custom or belief). This modifier+noun pattern is cross-linguistically common, so an average B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Muslim tradition describes customs and rituals passed down by Muslim communities. Imagine families who each year pray together, fast during Ramadan and give to the poor; these repeated acts become a living tradition, so the phrase means a common 'custom' or 'ritual' in the Islamic faith.
