The answer

We have no knowledge of Al-Mutawalli. The ruling on vowing to the occupants of graves and building shrines over them has been previously explained. There is disagreement regarding women visiting graves. The majority of scholars permitted it, while others prohibited it due to the differing ahadith. For those who permit it, there is no distinction between a menstruating woman (ha'id), a woman in postpartum bleeding (nufasa'), or a ritually pure woman (tahir). However, the disagreement specifically pertains to the case where the woman is modestly dressed. If she is immodestly dressed (safirah) or semi-naked, it is not permissible for her to leave her home at all, let alone visit shrines.
