Question:
He says: Is it permissible for me to perform voluntary tawaf while the imam is praying tarawih?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. There is nothing wrong with you performing tawaf while the people are praying tarawih, because tarawih is a recommended practice (sunnah) and tawaf is a recommended practice (sunnah), so there is no obstacle. However, it is better for you to pray tarawih with the people and then perform tawaf afterwards, so that you combine the two acts of worship. Combining the two acts of worship is better for you. As for permissibility, it is permissible.
