Not necessarily.

Historically there has been confusion around that.

Vixie cron on Linux allows 7 to be Sunday

From 'man 5 crontab'

 The time and date fields are:

              field          allowed values
              -----          --------------
              minute         0-59
              hour           0-23
              day of month   1-31
              month          1-12 (or names, see below)
              day of week    0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
