It is permissible for an old woman who is not desired by men to mix with them and uncover her face. Covering a woman's face is obligatory when there is fear of temptation. The drum is forbidden, and ululations are permissible as long as there is no fear of men being tempted or finding pleasure in them. As for henna, if it forms a layer that prevents water from reaching the hair, then ablution is not valid unless it is removed, and this is determined by the individual herself.
