Prioritizing the one who makes errors in al-Fatihah over the one who does not

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah be with you. This last question says: The questioner asks, if a man is found to be an open sinner but he does not make errors in the Qur'an, and another man is found who is not an open sinner but he makes errors, which one is prioritized for leading the prayer? May Allah reward you with good?

Answer:
If the error is in al-Fatihah, and it is an error that changes the meaning, if it is an error that changes the meaning and it is in al-Fatihah, then this person is not prioritized. Is this person prioritized? The one who is proficient in al-Fatihah is prioritized, even if he is not proficient in reading completely. He is prioritized as long as he does not make an error that changes the meaning. The pious one who does not make an error that changes the meaning is prioritized, and he is not prioritized if both are present.
