Regret after hitting one's ill father

Q: My friend hit her terminally ill father in anger,but repented immediately. Later on it seemed that due to the slap it caused severe damage to the brain. She is repenting so much, crying and praying and begging to Allah. She cant get over the guilt, she really loves her father. What she can do now? She is praying a lot and asking for forgiveness. Will Allah forgive her and make her father well again?

A: She should make du`aa for him and for herself.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
