The grading of the hadith: (A sinful person should not lead a believer in prayer)
What is the authenticity of the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): (A sinful person should not lead a believer in prayer unless he strikes him with a whip or a stick) ?
This is a weak hadith, it is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and for this reason, the stronger position in this issue is: that it is permissible for an open sinner to lead the prayer,For example: If a person who has shaved his beard leads us in prayer, the prayer is valid; but there is no doubt that the more God-fearing the imam is, the better.
