What is the reason for the repeated exposure to touch (mass) in dreams, seeing ghosts, and feeling numbness, heaviness, and physical pain when reciting the Qur’an or excelling in some work, along with the appearance of a mysterious wound on the hand that does not heal?

The symptoms mentioned could be due to sorcery (sihr) or demonic possession (mass shaitani). For treatment, we recommend sincere repentance to Allah, as sins are a cause for devils to gain control, just as obedience is a cause for Allah's help and the repulsion of evils. Then, one should diligently recite the Quran, increase in remembrance (dhikr), consistently perform ruqyah (Islamic exorcism), and recite Surah Al-Baqarah in the home. It is also necessary to purify the house from anything that repels angels, such as statues, pictures, music, and dogs. Furthermore, consult with specialized scholars. If what you are experiencing does not cease, it is possible to change residence for some time.
