AL-KAFI #1504: APAKAH DOSA MENGAJAR KEMAKSIATAN KEPADA SESEORANG AKAN DIWARISINYA
Does a person who once taught someone else to commit sin keep sharing in that person's sin, even after abandoning the sin himself?
Short answer
A person who initiates or guides others to wrongdoing also bears the sin of those who follow, based on the Quranic verses and the Muslim hadith cited, and Imam al-Nawawi states that assisting in wrongdoing is forbidden.

Summary
A person who initiates or guides others to wrongdoing also bears the sin of those who follow, based on the Quranic verses and the Muslim hadith cited, and Imam al-Nawawi states that assisting in wrongdoing is forbidden. According to Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, the one who carries the sin of those he taught until the Day of Judgement is the one who has not repented of his sin. Repentance is obligatory, to be done sincerely with a resolve not to repeat the act and to amend oneself, and one should not despair of God's forgiveness.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Selain itu Ibnu Hajar al-Asqalani di dalam kitabnya menyatakan, orang yang menanggung dosa yang diajarinya sehingga ke hari kiamat adalah orang yang masih belum bertaubat di atas dosanya itu.
