The outley from my bathroom sink runs into rainwater guttering - is
this wrong?

Presumably it actually runs into a pipe connected to the guttering
or a hopperhead.

Assuming this is the case, it depends on what drainage system you
have.

If the guttering is connected to the sewer system (likely in an
older building) then the arrangement is fine. If the guttering is
connected to a surface water drainage system (likely in newer
buildings and rural areas) then this is not fine.
