If the innovator repents, is he held accountable for the sins of those who followed him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Do the sins follow?

Answer : If he was clarified to them, the sins follow him, as long as he did not declare that he is an innovator and that he is a follower. But if he remained in his ignorance, just as he is not held accountable, he is not held accountable for the crime of those who followed him.
