It is permissible for a woman to visit the righteous son of her shaykh in the hospital as a reward for him, provided that she adheres to Islamic guidelines. This does not contradict the principle of showing kindness to relatives. However, if the shaykh is one of the shaykhs of innovative Sufi orders, it is not permissible to show kindness to him, and relatives are more deserving of assistance. As for the statement "yaṭur," which implies insult to Allah Almighty, it is considered disbelief and apostasy from Islam, and it necessitates renewing one's Islam and repentance. However, if it was a slip of the tongue, then there is nothing upon her.
