In the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, “May Allah curse the women who visit graves,” is the intended meaning visiting them frequently?

Question:
I say, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, “May Allah curse the women who visit graves,” and he did not say “the women who visit graves” (using the plural form for visitors), so this is a form of exaggeration, meaning that what is prohibited is women visiting graves frequently.

Answer:
My brother, a second narration was reported: “May Allah curse the women who visit graves,” and this explains the first one. The intended meaning is to prohibit visiting absolutely. Prohibit visiting absolutely, whether it is repeated or not. This is a doubt held by those who permit a woman to visit graves, but this is refuted by the evidence of the second narration: “May Allah curse the women who visit graves.” Yes.
