Performing a Nafl Sa’ee on its Own

Q: Can a nafl sa’ee be made on its own, just as a nafl tawaaf is made? In other words, can one perform just a nafl sa’ee, whenever one wishes, without doing a tawaaf before?

A: No, this is not permissible. One cannot make a separate nafl sa’ee as one makes a separate nafl tawaaf.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
