15 year old leading salat

Question:

I am 15 years old. Can I lead salat to build confidence while my dad is with me?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

If you are 15 years old, can recite the Quran correctly in the salat and can perform the salat correctly, it will be permissible for you to lead the salat.

And Allah knows best.
