Is this a valid rule regarding supernatural events: that the fulfillment of a request does not indicate the validity of the means?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is this rule valid regarding supernatural events, that the fulfillment of a request does not indicate the validity of the means?

Answer:
Yes, except if the supernatural event is accompanied by worship and mindfulness of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If it is accompanied by open sinfulness and lewdness, it is not a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person), but rather a satanic supernatural event. We have repeated this to you, and this is the criterion and the distinction between a karamah and a satanic supernatural event. Yes.
