Is what happened to the questioner's mother—the appearance of a young man in military uniform shouting at her, "Are you asking God for something forbidden!" after she prayed in Witr for winning the lottery, and the subsequent continuous physical and psychological pain—a divine punishment, and what is the way to her healing and the alleviation of her suffering?

We ask Allah for healing from all apparent and hidden diseases, for Allah has not sent down a disease except that He has also sent down a cure for it. Renew your repentance and ask for forgiveness, and return any injustices to their rightful owners. Turn to Allah and supplicate with persistence and certainty, for He answers the prayer of the supplicant and the one in distress. You must perform Ruqyah (definition) (Islamic exorcism) and continue doing so, and seek natural treatment from a skilled doctor. Do not despair of relief and healing. We hope that the lady's suffering will be an expiation for her sins and a raising of her ranks.
