Can we freeze specific time entry lines in the timecard through Time Entry Rule?

Summary:

Content (required):

I have a requirement that when the timecard will be sent to the external payroll system then I need to freeze some specific lines based on some specific time attributes. For e.g.: If expenditure category is Labor- Absence then I need to restrict the edit of only that line by an employee, all other time entry lines can be edited.

Attached the screenshot below, where the highlighted time entry line of 8 hours on 9 December needs to be restricted from editing on the basis of the time attribute value (as shown in another screenshot).

Can we achieve this requirement using time entry rule or if there is any other workaround kindly help.
