Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it prescribed to go and visit sick disbelievers for the sake of calling them to Islam?

Answer:
Yes, they are visited for the sake of calling them to Islam. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) visited a Jewish man; he visited a young Jewish man and said to him, "Say: There is no god but Allah," when he saw that death was in him. He said to him, "Say: There is no god but Allah." So the boy, or the young man, looked at his Jewish father and said, "Obey Abu al-Qasim." So he said, "There is no god but Allah," and he died upon Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
(peace and blessings be upon him) Praise be to Allah who saved him from the Fire through me.صلى الله عليه وسلم الحمد لله الذي انقذه بي من النار
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 62:8
Yes.
