If it is impossible to combine the two, then he either disobeys his father or abandons Tarawih. Obedience to the father is obligatory, while Tarawih is a , and what is obligatory takes precedence. This is provided that obedience to the parent is not permissible if it leads to abandoning an obligation or committing a forbidden act.
