The question

What is the ruling on minimizing visits and communication with the husband's family—who turn joy into sorrow and cause distress and exhaustion to the wife and husband—or completely cutting off visits and communication with them? And is the husband sinful if they do not go to them, and they do not wish to come?

The answer

Your husband must continue to honor and treat his parents well, and reduce calls if they cause discord. As for you, you are permitted to stop visiting and calling them due to the harm you experience from their avoidance, for a graceful departure is better than harmful interaction. However, remember that among the good manners of a wife are her kindness to her husband's family, overlooking their mistakes, and helping him to honor his parents.
