A boy leading prayer for someone older than him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on a boy leading prayer for someone older than him in age, O Shaykh?

Answer:
There is no harm in it if the boy is of discernment and he is more memorized of the Qur'an and better at reciting the Qur'an, then he is given priority, even if he is a boy. Yes.
