Holding the peoples of the disbelievers accountable for their leaders' breach of the covenant

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the leaders of the disbelievers breach the covenant with the Muslims, are their peoples held accountable for it?

Answer:
They are fought. They are fought if they break the treaty, in which case they are fought, and their peoples follow them. Whoever from their peoples fights is fought, but whoever does not fight is left alone, as mentioned previously.
