Performing Taraaweeh without ‎Performing Esha Salaah

Q: Q: If a person came late to the musjid and missed the Esha ‎Salaah, should he join the Taraaweeh Salaah or should he first ‎perform his Esha Salaah?‎

A: The Taraaweeh Salaah will only be valid if one had performed ‎the Esha Salaah. Hence, he should first perform his Esha Salaah ‎and thereafter join the Taraaweeh Salaah.‎

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
