The Takbirs in the Funeral Prayer?

Question : This questioner says: I hope for clarification on the issue of the takbirs in the funeral prayer, and whether they are recited?

Answer : The takbirs of the funeral prayer are either four or five. There are hadiths that I have traced up to seven, but what is established in the commentary of Muslim is up to five.
One says takbir four times or five times. What one should do is to say takbir four times in most of one’s prayers, and to say it five times once or twice, in order to perform the sunnah (recommended practice). Because the acts of worship that have been transmitted in various forms are best performed in those different forms at different times, so that one performs the sunnah in all its forms.
However, if a person comes in late and catches up with the takbirs, and he finds the imam at the third takbir, which is the place of supplication for the deceased, let him supplicate for the deceased. He says takbir and supplicates for the deceased, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “Pray what you catch up with.” Then, when the imam says the closing salam, the scholars have mentioned that the latecomer has the choice between saying salam with the imam or making up what he missed. If the funeral is still present and he is able to make up what he missed in its proper form, he should make it up in its proper form. If the funeral has been carried away, let him continue the takbirs or complete the remaining takbirs and say salam. Yes, there is no explicit text on this issue, but this is the independent legal reasoning (ijtihad) of the scholars. They mentioned that it is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), but after my research, I did not find it. So, if anyone finds something on this, let them help us with it, may Allah reward him with good.
