Can a person who stutters lead others in prayer?

The imam must be free from excuses and possess a sound and proper recitation. (Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, 1/557-558) If a person who stutters can recite the Qur'an correctly, he may lead others in prayer.

However, if he cannot recite properly and correctly, he may lead those who also stutter, but he cannot lead those whose recitation is proper. (Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, 1/581-582; Ibn Qudamah, al-Mughni, 2/145)
