Kafa'ah as a design principle
Classical scholars discussed kafa'ah (suitability) in marriage across dimensions like deen, lineage, and livelihood. Maktub does not automate fiqh rulings, but it takes the spirit seriously: match on stated requirements and meaningful alignment, not vanity metrics.
Equal matching applies to all plans — paying more does not buy “better people,” only more introductions and Salaams.
What algorithms cannot do
No score replaces meeting families, asking hard questions, and observing character over time. Compatibility suggestions are starting points for Salaam and conversation — not destiny.
Maktub will never sell “guaranteed matches” or compatibility percentages that pretend certainty.
It is written.
Maktub matching weighs deen, family, province, and life goals — inspired by kafa'ah ( suitability ), not a hotness score.
