Is it prescribed for the imam in the funeral prayer to recite al-Fatihah aloud for the sake of teaching?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the imam recites aloud in the funeral prayer, does he recite al-Fatihah aloud? Is that prescribed for him, as some of the Companions did, for the sake of teaching?

Answer:
If the people behind him do not know that he is reciting al-Fatihah, there is no harm. Yes.
