The Opening Supplication in the Funeral Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the opening supplication (du'a al-istiftah) recommended in the funeral prayer?

Answer:
It is not prescribed in the funeral prayer; rather, one says the takbir and recites al-Fatihah after the takbir. Yes.
