Like there is ongoing charity... there is ongoing sin as well

Allaah تعالى said:

لِيَحْمِلُوا أَوْزَارَهُمْ كَامِلَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۙ وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ الَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ۗ أَلَا سَاءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ

{That they may bear their own burdens in full on the Day of Resurrection and some of the burdens of those whom they misguide without knowledge. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear.}
[Surah al-Nahl (16): 25]

Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: ❝If anyone calls others to follow right guidance, his reward will be equivalent to those who follow him (in righteousness) without their reward being diminished in any respect; and if anyone invites others to follow misguidance, the sin of which he is guilty will be equivalent to those who follow him (in sinfulness and misguidance) without their sins being diminished in any respect.❞
[Saheeh Muslim (2674), Sunan Abu Dawood (4609), Sunan Ibn Maajah (205, 206), Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2674)]

Jareer Ibn `Abdullaah رضي الله عنه reported that some desert Arabs, clad in woolen clothes, came to Allaah's Messenger ﷺ. He ﷺ saw them in sad plight as they had been hard pressed by need. He ﷺ exhorted people to give charity, but they showed some reluctance until (signs) of anger could be seen on his face. Then a person from the Ansaar came with a purse containing silver. Then came another person and then other people followed them in succession until signs of happiness could be seen on his ﷺ face. Thereupon Allaah's Messenger ﷺ said: ❝He who introduced some good practice in Islaam which was followed after him (by people) he would be assured of reward like one who followed it, without their rewards being diminished in any respect. And he who introduced some evil practice in Islaam which had been followed subsequently (by others), he would be required to bear the burden (in full) like that of one who followed this (evil practice) without their burden being diminished in any respect.❞
