Superstitious beliefs with regards to marriage

Q: I got a marriage proposal which I wasn’t sure about so my uncle decided to have hisab done. I didn’t know it was haram then but it came back saying the marriage won’t be good for me and I will ultimately marry someone from another country. I have said yes to the proposal but wondering now if I should believe and listen to what the hisab said? Is hisab real? I am doing istikhara but haven’t had a answer yet.

A: Hisaab has got no significance in Islam. This type of superstitious beliefs are condemned. There is absolutely no basis for it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
