Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "There is no good in a congregation (or gathering) of women, except that the mosque is a different matter (for their praying in congregation), or the funeral of someone slain is a different matter (for their gathering)."
Imam Ahmad and Imam al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat recorded it, though he recorded these words: "There is no good in a congregation (or gathering) of women, except that a mosque of congregational prayer is a different matter." Its chain contains a narrator, Ibn Lahi'ah, who has been criticized.
