Ordinarily yes.

If you chopped it above the roots, or dipped it in concrete, or burned it, or poured petrol in the water etc, then no. :)

Ficus boy you are giving us the most extraordinary questions with almost no information to give you a reasonable answer.
Please, please, please give at least a little bit of background to your questions so we have something to work with.
