So, you are looking to get married? What are the questions that you should be asking?

Should they be questions like: "Can you take care of my needs?" "How much money do you have in your account?" "How much money do you earn?" "Can you take care of my bills?"
Should you be looking for how well he is known in the community?
Or, should you be asking about his Deen?
When asking about his religion should it be superficial questions such as does he drink alcohol, or does he get high?
