Calling out More than Four Takbeers in the Janaazah salaah

Q: janaa'iz-64: What is to be done when performing the Janaazah salaah behind a Hanafi Imaam who calls out more than four Takbeers? Can he be followed?

Answer: He may be followed. but the Hanafi follower should call out only four Takbeers and then remain silent. He should not follow the Imaam in the extra Takbeers and then make Salaam when the Imaam does. And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
