What is the remedy for the sorcery that has afflicted me, causing severe coughing, and making me hear sounds in my stomach during prayer and Quran recitation?
It is recommended to turn to Allah with supplication, asking Him for well-being and safety, and to frequently recite prayers that relieve distress. It is imperative to adhere to patience due to its good consequences. The default is that the husband's mother is innocent of the accusation of witchcraft unless there is clear evidence, and it is not permissible to inform the wife of this, even if she did it, to avoid grudges. If it is highly probable that witchcraft exists, then one must be diligent in performing ruqyah according to the Sharia, and it is best for a Muslim to perform ruqyah on themselves. One must also be diligent in performing obligatory prayers, avoiding sins, and frequently remembering Allah.
