The answer

The ruling on a woman leading other women in prayer has been previously clarified. As for a discerning boy leading obligatory prayers, there is a difference of opinion among scholars; some have prohibited it, while others have permitted it, citing the of Amr ibn Salamah: "I led prayers during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when I was a boy of seven years." The preponderant opinion is the permissibility of a boy leading prayers. Therefore, there is no harm upon you or your sister if you pray in congregation with him.
