The ruling on one who missed some of the takbirs in the funeral prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! The questioner says: If a worshipper arrives while the imam is praying the funeral prayer and has already said the takbir twice, for example, does he repeat the first takbirs on his own, or does he continue with the imam and then complete the prayer after the imam finishes?

Answer:
If a person arrives, or the imam in the funeral prayer says the takbir from the third, fourth, or second takbir, and then says the takbir, what he catches up with the imam is the first prayer. If he says the takbir, he recites al-Fatihah. If the imam says the takbir for the third time, he recites the prayer of blessing and peace upon the Prophet. And if the imam says the taslim, he says the takbir and says, "O Allah, forgive him. O Allah, forgive him." Then he says the takbir and says the taslim. This is based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "What you catch up with us, accept it, and what you missed, complete it." This is a general ruling for the funeral prayer and others. Yes.
