Performing the Taraaweeh salaah without first Performing the Sunnah salaah

Q: Salaah-447: A person performed the Fardh of Isha but is then unable to perform the Sunnah salaah because the Taraaweeh salaah had already commenced. Should he leave out the Sunnah salaah to join the Taraaweeh salaah? Should he then complete the Sunnah salaah after the Taraaweeh salaah?

Answer: In the stated case, he may leave out the Sunnah salaah and perform then after the Taraaweeh salaah. And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
