The questioner:
The elder or the more knowledgeable is given priority in assemblies when one is advanced in age. Yes.

The Shaykh:
These are manifestations of the Sunnah. This is minor. The Sunnah: is the one who knows best, the day the people are closest to the Book of Allah, then the one who knows best of the Sunnah, so the reciters and scholars are more deserving of esteem, more worthy of esteem,

The questioner:
having more memorization of the Quran?

The Shaykh:
This is abundance. Abundance of harmony. By the same calculation, the one with more is prioritized. For the harmony of memorization. In the recitation of the Quran, their quality is the same, so the one with more is prioritized in terms of memorization.

The Shaykh:
Caring for the Quran and securing the Quran, and applying the tajwid that is correct, not all of it, all of it, being one who cares for the Quran
