You must visit your sick aunt because she needs care and assistance. Your visit to her is an act of filial piety towards your mother, a way of maintaining kinship ties, and a visit to the sick. There is immense reward and recompense in this. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever wishes that his provision be expanded for him and his life span be extended, let him maintain his ties of kinship."
