A person who feels empathy for another's sadness but simultaneously believes that they are not responsible for causing it might be described as "empathetic but detached" or "compassionate but not accountable." This suggests that they care about the other person's feelings yet believe they are not personally to blame for the situation. Depending on the context, they could also be seen as "sympathetic" or "understanding" while maintaining a stance of personal non-responsibility.

give me another word for that
Another word that might fit is "sympathetic." It conveys understanding and concern for someone's feelings without necessarily implying personal responsibility for those feelings. If you want something more nuanced, you might also consider "aloof" if the person remains emotionally distant despite their empathy, or "dispassionate" if they express concern without feeling personally accountable.
