I have a friend who believes in hisaab He wants to get married but he went to imaam to ask him whether he is compatible with the girl. So the imam asked for her name and date of birth to determine compatibility and whether she would be a good wife. How she will be with him and his family. I would like to know if this is allowed in Islam?
