Walekum assalam

It is permissible to perform a blow (divination spell) for marriage, provided that it contains verses from the Quran.

Reference:

The prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) said:

لَا بَأْسَ بِالرُّقَى مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ شِرْكًا

“There is no harm in performing ruqyah (blowing/incantation), as long as it does not involve shirk (associating partners with Allah).”

Sahih Muslim (2200)

Best practices for marriage:

Two rak‘ahs of voluntary (nafl) prayer

Read this dua daily:

رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ

(Surah Al-Qasas 28:24)
