Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the repentance of an innovator accepted, since he has followers who continue to follow his innovation after his repentance?
Answer:
If he repents and announces it, his liability is cleared. Abu al-Hasan announced it, as you heard in his books; he announced his disavowal and his return, so his liability is cleared (may Allah have mercy on him). Yes.
