Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Which is better when I arrive in Makkah in Ramadan, to start with the 'Umrah or to pray the tarawih?
Answer:
It is better to start with the 'Umrah, because the tawaf (circumambulation) of the House for the one arriving is the greeting of the Sacred Mosque, so you start with the 'Umrah, by performing the 'Umrah.
