What is the ruling on falling into shirk (associating partners with Allah) when the intention contradicts that?

Question:
He says: Sometimes a person falls into an action or statement that contains shirk (associating partners with Allah), but his intention is good, or he is ignorant of the ruling on this action and statement. Is he held accountable for that? I hope you will inform us if he is ignorant and did not know that this is shirk.

Answer:
He is not held accountable for that. However, if it becomes clear to him and it is explained to him, it is obligatory for him to repent to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and to stay away from this thing. As for the one who falls into something while he is ignorant of its ruling, he is not held accountable for it, but he is held accountable for the fact that he did not ask, while he is among Muslims, among scholars, and among people of knowledge. For example, he is not excused for leaving off the question. Allah the Exalted said: Therefore, it is not permissible for a person to proceed with an action except after asking the people of knowledge whether this action is prescribed or not prescribed? From this aspect, he is held accountable for his negligence. Yes.
