We say: If they have someone among them who is proficient in recitation, they should appoint him to lead them, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "The one who leads the people in prayer is the one among them who is best at reciting the Book of Allah." As for if they do not have anyone among them who is proficient in recitation, then they pray according to their own ability.[Al-Baqarah 2:286]. They should appoint the one among them who is best at recitation, even if he has some deficiency. They appoint the best, then the next best, then the next best. Yes.
