It depends on what you want to accomplish, or rather what your goal is.

If your goal is body building or power lifting or weight lifting then the answer is YES

If your goal is only fitness or weight loss then the answer is NO.

it is OK to weight lift every day, but alternate which muscle group you are working each day. this way your muscles will have time to recover while you work other parts of your body. rest is important for your muscles because that is when your body builds your muscles up stronger, when you do a workout you break down your muscles on a small (healthy) level, and when you rest they are built up stronger than before. you can find weight lifting plans online, they usually have a day for the upper body and a day for the lower body switching off.
