The answer

The imamate of someone ignorant of the rulings pertaining to prayer is valid if they know the correct manner of prayer, even if it is considered disliked by some scholars. Some jurisprudential references, such as "Al-Furu'" by Ibn Muflih, "Durar al-Hukkam," and the commentary of al-Dusuqi, have mentioned the permissibility of his imamate, while emphasizing that it is preferable to prioritize the most knowledgeable in fiqh and the best reciter.
