Question

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?

Answer

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.

(ثم سكن بمكة محرما) بالحج ولا يجوز فسخ الحج بالعمرة عندنا (وطاف بالبيت نفلا ماشيا) بلا رمل وسعي وهو أفضل من الصلاة نافلة للآفاقي وقلبه للمكي

قال العلامة ابن عابدين رحمه الله : (قوله بلا رمل وسعي) لأن الرمل وكذا الاضطباع تابعان لطواف بعده سعي من واجبات الحج والعمرة فقط، وهذا الطواف تطوع فلا سعي بعده قال في الشرنبلالية عن الكافي لأن التنفل بالسعي غير مشروع (رد المحتار 2/502)
