Is it prescribed for those present at the burial of the deceased to participate in it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In our country, when they want to bury the deceased, they urge everyone present at the burial to throw dirt on him, which delays the completion of the burial. Is their action correct?

Answer:
Those present should participate as much as possible, provided that this does not cause harm by delaying the burial of the deceased. The deceased is buried, so whoever is able to participate in his burial, even with a handful of dirt, should do so. Yes.
