But the Constitutional Court said Park's close friend Choi Soon-Sil, the media-dubbed "Rasputin" at the centre of the corruption scandal that triggered the president's downfall, must submit for questioning on January 10.
The National Assembly, which passed a motion to impeach Park earlier this month, had asked the court to summon Park and question her directly.
"The request ... Is rejected," the court said.
The court has 180 days to consider parliament's impeachment motion and its president Park Han-Chul said in a New Year message that it would seek to make a decision "at an early date".
Park is accused of colluding with Choi to strong-arm companies into handing over tens of millions of dollars to dubious foundations which Choi controlled.
Choi has been formally indicted on charges of abuse of power and extortion.
