The answer

If their visit causes you harm, there is no sin in not visiting them. You can maintain ties with the sorceress's husband by phone, sending gifts, inviting him to your home, and similar means, because cutting ties of kinship without a valid reason is impermissible. If you can advise this woman and remind her of Allah Almighty and the danger and sinfulness of sorcery, then do so.
