Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person leads the people in prayer and he has a clear mistake, and no one else is available to lead the prayer, is it permissible to pray behind this person whose mistake is clear?
Answer:
If the mistake changes the meaning, it is not permissible for someone who is better than him to pray behind him. His leadership is only valid for someone like him.
