If one prays over a funeral behind an imam who does not raise his hands and says the closing salam twice, should he follow him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If a person prays with a group who do not consider the two rak'ahs obligatory, should he raise his hands?

Answer : Yes, he should raise his hands because they have abandoned the sunnah (recommended practice). There is no contradiction in this, and as long as there is no contradiction, let him do it. Yes, even if they always, even if they, say the salam twice. In this case, we might say that he says the salam with them, because if he said it only once, it would be less than the imam's prayer.
