A single wearing a Tallit

Question:

Can an older Ashkanazi single male wear a tallit to shul, and can he cover his head with the tallit during Shomana Esrei and other times when married men cover their heads?

Answer:

It is permitted. Although there are different minhagim, there is no inherent issur for an Ashkenazim to wear a tallis, and there are many Ashkanazim that do wear tallisim during davening.
