Yes it is a legal shot if your playing league.

As seen above, there are several sets of rules, and under some its legal and under others it is not legal.
There is a third adder to rules called no-slop. Under this adder, you may call the 8 ball in the corner (or where ever) pocket off his ball. That is you have to call your 8-ball shot and all the insundry details about how it gets into the called pocket. I specifically call all my shots this way so that if the opponent thinks it may be an illegal shot he has a chance to complain BEFORE the shot goes down. I, personally, let his call (or not) decide whether to play it this way (or not). OFten I will get an answer like "I don't think that's legal, but I want to see you do that shot anyway".
