Leaving the Tarawih Prayer to Go Perform 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This brother, Saud, from Riyadh says: I am the imam for the Tarawih prayer, and there is no other imam besides me. Is it permissible for me to leave them for a few days in the blessed month of Ramadan and go to Makkah to perform 'Umrah for three days?

Answer:
Staying with them and praying the tarawih prayer with them is better for you than the 'Umrah, so do not go for the 'Umrah and leave them when they have no one else; pray the tarawih prayer with them. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you. He says
