The answer

The Maliki school stipulates that the Imam must be male, a responsible adult, capable of performing the pillars (of prayer), knowledgeable of the rulings of prayer, Muslim, not currently or originally a follower (ma'mum), not a transgressor (fasiq) in a way that relates to prayer, not intentionally in a state of ritual impurity (muhdith), not an innovator (mubtadi') with an apostatizing innovation, not reciting with a reading that contradicts the Uthmani Mushaf, and not intentionally making grammatical errors (lahn) in his recitation.
