Is it prescribed to perform sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) without 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage), just as with tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah)?

The questioner : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I love you for the sake of Allah, and my question is: Is it prescribed to perform sa'y without 'Umrah, just as with tawaf, or not?
The Shaykh : May Allah love the one who loves us for His sake. Sa'y without 'Umrah is not attested, rather it is a bid'ah (religious innovation), because one does not volunteer any of the acts of 'Umrah except tawaf alone, whereas sa'y is not performed for the sake of Allah the Exalted.
