No - but if you intend on connecting that sink drain to your house, especially where there wasn't a sink drain before you started, probably.
The magic word here is "trap". Anytime a trap is involved, a permit is involved. Permits involved inspections. Inspectors hate do-it-your-selfers.
Add that a new drain trap generally requires a vent. A vent goes from the trap to to air above the house. This allows noxious gases from the sewer to go somewhere besides inside your home.
Unused bathtub smelling bad? Add a few cups of water to fill the trap. Add a few spoonfuls of vegetable oil to keep trapped water from evaporating as quickly. Or a cup, enough to fill the trap (more a winterizing trick).

Why does your shower leak once the toilet is flushed?
The drains for the shower, toilet and sink all connect to a common line. Assuming the toilet is not backing up, the problem indicates that there may be a partial blockage, enough so that some of the toilet flow is backing up through the shower drain line. You need plumbing repair. The shower leak you mention should only be in the shower, or else you have a broken drain line as well.
What is wrong if the sink and the bathtub will drain but the toilet wont flush?
The toilet itself is plugged or the pipe from the toilet to the drain is plugged. It may be that the tub and sink have their own drain pipe that may connect to the main away from the toilet drain. Plunge the toilet or sometimes if you fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and pour it into the toilet as fast as it will take it, that will flush out the line. It is a greater amount of water all at once an forces out what the clog is.

Siemens dishwasher will not drain?
If the dishwasher is hooked into a garburetor, there is a plug in the garburetor where the hose drain attaches that needs to be knocked out. The drain hose might be plugged where it joins to the plumbing drainage. The other problem, plumbing-wise, is the drain hose has to be fed as high as it can go under the sink and back down into the drain.

Unclog Your Sink With A Plumbing Snake?
Clogged drains in the kitchen and bathroom can prove to be a problem. After you have tried liquid drain cleaners with no luck, try a plumbing snake. The snake is inserted into the drain and goes only a certain depth. If there is any kind of clog into the drain, it will either push it through the plumbing system or you can pull the clog out with the snake. Make sure that you are using the end of the plumbing snake that has the small hook on the end so you can easily pull anything out of the drain that may be stuck in it.
How do you plumb in a double sink?
Sorry but the original question can not be answered here, as you need to understand plumbing codes and in the end you must follow local codes. Same as this question, how to plumbing kitchen.
