Ruling on transferring a funeral from one city to another

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on transferring a funeral, for example, from one city to another so that more people can pray over it?
This is a religious innovation (bid'ah) and disliked (makruh), except for a valid purpose, in which case it is permissible. However, if it is merely because the location is better or something similar, then no. Likewise, if it is so that the people of the second city can pray over him, then no.And I say: O my brothers! A person is benefited only by his deeds. If he has no deeds, even if thousands of people pray over him, they will not benefit him except to the extent that they benefit others by praying over them.
