IRSYAD HUKUM KHAS RAMADHAN SIRI KE-143 : SOLAT SUNAT BA'DIYAH ISYAK DAHULU ATAU TERUS SOLAT SUNAT TARAWIH?
Should the ba'diyah Isha prayer be performed first, or should one go straight to the tarawih prayer?
Short answer
It is preferable to perform the ba'diyah Isha sunnah prayer before tarawih, since it is a rawatib prayer that the Prophet SAW consistently observed.

Summary
It is preferable to perform the ba'diyah Isha sunnah prayer before tarawih, since it is a rawatib prayer that the Prophet SAW consistently observed. The ruling cites the agreement of the Shafi'i scholars that rawatib prayers are more virtuous than tarawih. Imams and bilals are advised to allow the congregation time for ba'diyah first. Those who miss it may still perform it after tarawih, as its time ends only when the time of the obligatory Isha prayer ends.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, sebelum menunaikan solat sunat tarawih seeloknya dilakukan terlebih dahulu solat sunat isyak. Setelah selesai barulah ditunaikan solat tarawih.
