The answer

We have no knowledge of the "Quadrature" method. However, what has been mentioned about the extractor bringing his daughter, who then performs specific movements to guide him to a particular location, indicates that this method is not free of magic or divination, both of which are forbidden. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever comes to a soothsayer or a diviner and believes what he says, has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him." Therefore, the correct approach is to avoid such a method.
