Nay.
Gen 14:23; Gen 23:13; Deut 16:16; Deut 16:17; Mal 1:12-14; Rom 12:17

It is a maxim from heaven, "Honour the Lord with thy substance."
He who has a religion that costs him nothing, has a religion that is worth nothing; nor will any man esteem the ordinances of God, if those ordinances cost him nothing. Had Araunah's noble offer been accepted, it would have been Araunah's sacrifice, not David's; nor would it have answered the end of turning away the displeasure of the Most High.
It was David that sinned, not Araunah; therefore David must offer sacrifice.
