Android: should we pass context to domain layer?

I am trying to use the architecture recommended by android in a project and I was wondering if it is legitimate and recommended to pass the context to the domain layer through the AndroidViewModel:

class PlacesViewModel(application: Application): AndroidViewModel(application) {

    val app = application
    val domainLayer = DomainLayer()

    fun example() {
        domainLayer(app)
    }
}
