Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect them):
If a person has four permanent wives, it is prohibited for him to have a fifth permanent wife. However, regarding temporary marriages, one may have as many as they wish, whether exclusively or in conjunction with permanent wives.
May you be successful in all good.
