Summary
Speaking loudly while accompanying a funeral procession is makruh (disliked), especially when the talk is about worldly matters. Raising the voice with Quran recitation or remembrance (zikir) is also disliked, following the view of Imam Al-Nawawi cited in the fatwa. This time should be spent reflecting on death, the life of the barzakh and the remainder of one's life.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Makruh hukumnya bercakap-cakap dengan kuat ketika mengiringi jenazah. Lebih-lebih lagi bercakap tentang hal keduniaan.
