If visiting in-laws entails legitimate benefits, such as offering advice or reconciling hearts to guide them back to the truth, then visiting is preferable. However, if the legitimate benefit lies in not visiting them, either to avert harm to the religion or to shun them for their sins in the hope that shunning will be a deterrent, then refraining from visiting is more appropriate.
