Question:

One of them has memorized the entire Book of Allah, but he trims his beard and prays while wearing trousers. The other has memorized a great deal of the Qur'an, has let his beard grow, and wears the customary clothing. If they meet, may Allah protect you, which of the two should be given priority in leading the prayer?
