Is the imamate valid for someone who has a slight lisp in pronouncing the letter “R,” such that he pronounces it from its correct articulation point but not perfectly, and does anything ensue if a slight salivation sound sometimes issues from him when he pronounces it?

There is no harm in an althagh (lisping person) leading the prayer, as long as he pronounces the letter from its proper articulation point, and his lisp is minor, not preventing the original articulation of the letter, even if it is not perfectly clear.
