OSPF Virtual Link across Non-OSPF area?

Greetings

I have a quick question regarding OSPF and virtual links. I don't think
this is possible but here goes anyway - Is it possible to create an OSPF
virtual link across a non OSPF routing domain (where the routing domain has
full routing information to get between the two ASBRs)? Normally, if I had
to connect two areas such as this, I would use another approach such as
redistribution or migrating the non OSPF routing domain to OSPF, but these
are not options at the present time.

Area 1 Area 0
   --- R1 --- R2 --- R3 ----

R1 and R3 are running OSPF and R2 is not running OSPF but has static routes
configured to allow R1 and R3 to communicate. So in this scenario, would I
be able to connect Area 1 to Area 0 via a virtual link?

Thanks,
