The ruling on raising the voice with takbir (saying Allahu akbar) when following a funeral

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Regarding the days of the absolute takbir on the night of the festival and the days of the ten of Dhul-Hijjah, is it prescribed to raise the voice with takbir when following a funeral, or in the cemetery while waiting for the burial, or should the Muslim keep it quiet?

Answer:
The takbir of the day of the festival and the days of the ten of Dhul-Hijjah have no connection to following the dead. This is one thing and that is another. So do not raise your voices with the funerals, neither with takbir nor with anything else. Rather, there should be tranquility and humility in following the funerals, taking a lesson and a warning, and making du'a' (supplication) for the deceased for mercy and forgiveness, without raising voices and without collective voices. Yes.
