Declaring a specific person an innovator who has fallen into heresy

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If someone from the last two categories falls into heresy, are they declared innovators by name in this era?

Answer:
Yes, the one who falls into bid'ah (religious innovation) is declared an innovator by name. If someone says or does bid'ah, it is said that he, by name, is occupied with it, that he does bid'ah, or that he speaks it, writes it, and spreads it, and that he is an innovator. This is correct. Yes.
