The answer

It is recommended to be patient and make supplications for the sister, to have some virtuous and influential people speak with her, and to search for a righteous husband for her. If the visitor fears harm to himself or his child, there is no sin upon him if he does not visit them, but he must maintain ties with them as much as possible, such as by calling. It is recommended to frequently remember Allah and seek forgiveness.
