Is it required to enable the attendees of the funeral prayer to participate in the burial, even if the burial is delayed?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, whose name is indicated by the letter A, when we bury the deceased, most of those who attended the funeral prayer participate in the burial, which leads to a delay in completing the burial of the deceased, and also to some of those who attended the funeral prayer leaving before the burial is completed. So, should the attendees be enabled to participate in the burial, or not? Or should the burial be expedited, even if most of the attendees do not participate, or not?

Answer:
Participating in the burial of the deceased carries reward if it is possible. However, if it results in harm to the mourners or harm in delaying the burial, then this is not permissible. Yes.
