Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Pull the lid from the filter housing and let the oil from the housing drain into the pan for a few minutes before removing the filter and then the housing. You will get a little drippage from what oil remains on the inside of the housing. At this point you could re-use the old filter, but there's no good reason for not putting a new one in. Of course, this would also be an excellent time to change the oil as well, but not absolutely necessary.
