No, No NO! That will cause shoulder impingement
It is best to have a chiropractor or other medical provider examine your shoulder prior to starting or continuing any exercise that may cause pain or injury.
I would do wall pushups. Less pressure on your impinge shoulder.
Try pulling your elbows in toward your side and see how that works. You probably also need to work on your rotator cuff muscles to strengthen them.
It depends if you feel a sharp pain doing pushups then no
