Correct answer
No, because other drivers may not see the pedestrian.
It is not advisable to wave a pedestrian across: they may interpret it as a guarantee that the whole road is clear even though other drivers have not seen them. Respect their priority where applicable, slow down and stop if necessary; the pedestrian must check all traffic. This recommendation does not turn every gesture into an absolute legal prohibition.
