I saw some women visiting the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). What is the guidance?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman to visit graves? Because I was in al-Madinah and I saw some women visiting the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Is that specific to that grave?

Answer:
No, this is not correct. Women are not to be allowed to visit the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They are not to be allowed; they are prohibited from it. This is not correct. If you see a woman who has been rude in her conduct and visited the grave, report her. Report her to the head of the mosque. Do not leave her alone and remain silent.
