Nafil Salaah in jamaat
Question
Qiyaam-ul-layl: I am a Hanafi living in an area where, unfortunately, many do not follow a set mazhab. One of the brothers requested that 'Qiyaam-ul-layl' be performed in jamaat during Ramadaan. From his description, I understand this to be tahajjud salaah (as we have already
arranged for Taraweeh salaah). Is it permissible to perform any nafl salaah in jamaat?
Answer
According to the Hanfi mazhab, it is impermissible to perform nafil Salaah in jamaat with more than four people (including the Imaam).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
