What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding visiting a disobedient and sorceress mother who harms her children, given the son's desire to visit her out of fear of her harm?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If refraining from visiting the mother is due to fear of her harming [the person] with magic or something difficult to bear, and this fear has a verifiable cause and is not mere conjecture, then there is no blame in abandoning her visit, as the Prophet ﷺ said: "There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm." It is recommended to supplicate for her often with good and to show kindness to her with a gift if possible.
