REF QUESTION 1787 If I intend to make tawaaf... can i accompany my husband to the masjid while he goes for a Farz namaz... I will do my namaz in the masjid but will not follow the Imam.. I will do it by myself... Then after namaz we will start the tawaf or umrah together... note - hotels are far and its hot + the rush... that's why i opt to accompany him. Jazakillah

Answer

Maybe tolerated in the case you mentioned. it is to be noted that in our days our Ulama discouraged nafil tawaaf especially for ladies as it leads to intermingling of sexes.
