Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the imam says takbir five times in the funeral prayer, what do we say after the fourth?
Answer:
The position of the majority, and the position upon which the practice is based, is four takbirs. Does not saying more than four takbirs cause confusion for the people? Yes, ask him: if he says five, ask him what he is doing? Put him in a difficult position.
