Which is better for one who has arrived in Makkah: praying the tarawih prayer or performing the 'Umrah?

Question : If a person arrives in Makkah intending to perform the 'Umrah, but upon arrival finds that the people are praying the tarawih prayer, is it better for him to pray the tarawih with them, or to begin performing the 'Umrah?

Answer : It appears that the better option is to join them in the tarawih prayer. This is because the tarawih prayer is missed when the imam finishes, whereas the 'Umrah is not missed. This man who entered the mosque intending to perform the tawaf of the 'Umrah, were it not for this obstacle, would have been recorded as having hastened to perform his 'Umrah, if Allah wills. This is the last question, as the brother 'Abd al-Rahman indicates that the time has ended.
