The ruling on raising the hands in the funeral prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on raising the hands in the funeral prayer and raising the voice with the takbir?

Answer:
Raising the hands during supplication is not prescribed. It is not prescribed for you to raise your hands during supplication in the funeral prayer after the third takbir; you supplicate without raising your hands, because this was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for raising the hands with the takbirs, that is a sunnah (recommended practice). Yes.
