What Constitutes Following the Funeral

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question: If those following the funeral leave the mosque, each of us walking down a different street, and we meet at the cemetery—of course, we do not follow it directly; one goes down one street and the other down another until we meet at the cemetery—have we fulfilled the following of the funeral?

Answer:
You have fulfilled part of it. The recommended practice is to walk with the funeral to the cemetery and see it off; that is the best way to obtain the reward. Yes.
