If one goes for 'Umrah and the people are praying tarawih, does he pray with them or complete the 'Umrah?

Question : Okay, my brother, may Allah reward you with good. You ask: If they are in Makkah, O Shaykh, and the people are praying the tarawih prayer, and he has not yet performed the rites of 'Umrah, which does he start with, O Shaykh?

Answer : He prays tarawih first, because if he leaves off tarawih, it is missed, whereas 'Umrah is not missed. So he prays tarawih, then he performs tawaf and sa'y. May Allah grant you the state of ihram, if Allah wills.
