Question: do women have to congregate to perform Friday Haylalah (Asru) or Wazifa?

Answer: 

Actually, there is no zikr in congregation for women: women perform all zikr alone. However, women can attend both the wadhifa and the hadra on Fridays in assembly if the two following conditions  are met:

– Women and men are not mixed and so they cannot see each other

– Women must not recite aloud (in the same way as for Salat)

So if these conditions are met, women are authorised to follow the recitation of men, but this does not count as zikr in congregation, as we mentioned previously: there is no zikr in congregation for women.
