The questioner : Regarding the leading of prayer by a man who frequently makes errors in his recitation of the Noble Qur'an, for example, making the subject accusative and the object nominative, and the like, is it permissible for him to lead the prayer?

The Shaykh : It is obligatory for those responsible for mosques to choose for the leading of the mosque prayer the one who is most proficient in reciting the Book of Allah and most upright in the matters of his prayer, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): This is a report in the form of a command, so those responsible should fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in what Allah has entrusted to them, and they should choose for every task the one who is most upright in it and most deserving of it according to the Shari'ah. This imam mentioned by the questioner should be taught; if his tongue becomes correct, that is what is required, but if his tongue does not become correct, he should be replaced by someone else who is good at recitation. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you. This is our brother, the questioner, F M S Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz from Riyadh, who says.
