Ms Zahed appeared at a court hearing via video from the cells of Surry Hills police station on Saturday.
During the Parramatta Bail Court hearing, police argued Zahed should be denied bail because she would ‘endanger the community’, the Daily Telegraph reported.
The court heard she was on a community corrections order for possessing a knife and had only recently finshing parole for possessing a shortened firearm.
Her lawyer Ikbal Khan told the court a homeless friend had recently stayed at the raided house.
The heavily-tattooed Zahed appearedin court with a partially shaved head and was granted bail on the condition she live in a housing commission property in Auburn.
Taoube had his bail hearing in the same court on Saturday.

Police asked that he be put in remand as he was already on bail for domestic violence charges.
Taoube’s lawyer argued he had met all the reporting requirements of his current bail.
However, Taoube was denied bail and will face trial later this month.
Tarek Zahed and younger brother Abdul are in custody charged with the alleged kidnap and murder of Youssef Assoum in 2014.
Tarek miraculously survived a hail of bullets outside Auburn’s Bodyfit Gym in May last year which killed the other brother in the family, Omar.
One bullet pierced Tarek straight through his eyeball, and he was rushed to hospital fighting for life.
He was taken into surgery suffering 10 bullet wounds to his head and body while Omar died at the scene.
