According to the Hanafi Madhab, the maximum number of people for Nafl Salah in Jamaat can be four the imam and three followers. If the number increases, it will fall in the category of Tadaai and will be Makhrooh.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
