The ruling on raising the voice in dhikr when following a funeral procession

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. When following funeral processions, some people remember Allah the Exalted with raised voices?

Answer:
This is wrong and not permissible. Yes, they should make du'a for the deceased in secret, remember Allah in their hearts, and only let themselves hear it; there is nothing wrong with that. But raising the voice with the funeral procession is prohibited.
