Many apps reward time spent and volume of interactions. Maktub rewards clarity: a small number of introductions, one expression of interest at a time, and conversation only when interest is mutual.
These choices reflect widely held Islamic values around intention (niyyah), modesty, involving trusted people, and treating seekers with good character — without pretending an app can replace scholar guidance or family wisdom.
