Would anyone have told Picasso that he couldn't put both eyes on the same side of a person's head? Many, many, many stories have been written without dialogue. Many great ones have done so very effectively. It is a stylistic choice. Whether you use dialogue or not depends on only one thing: Will it accomplish the effect you want?
Something that is becoming increasingly evident to me the more I read the questions posted here is that the number one absolutely most important learning tool for new writers is being shockingly ignored. And what, you may ask, is this astoundingly marvelous device that can so miraculously help new writers learn to write? I can see now that so many new writers have read little or no published fiction.
This is shocking to me. By far, the vast majority of writers, most especially the good ones, even more especially the great ones, would never have been successful if they had not devoured the world of fiction, and most of it, in fact, before ever picking up a pencil to use an outdated metaphor. Most of them would never even have tried to write if they hadn't read tons of literature. If one has read a wealth of great stories, one can see the limitless possibilities inherent in fiction; in other words, you would already know that there is no reason you can't write essentially anything you can dream up.
That is what fiction is about. And if somehow you haven't read most of the greatest stories ever published in English, I am sad for you, because not only are you missing some of the greatest pleasures to be had on this planet, but you are also missing the best possible instruction you could ever receive in how to write. So go read. And read. And read some more. And then write. Well, what do you think will happen? Is there a state law against it? Will you have to pay a fee if you do it?
Be imprisoned? Get shot?
Writing believable dialogue
Do you think the readers, publishers, agents will put you on a black list and never ever read a line written by you? How many lists have you made in the past, where you put the authors whose stories you disliked? You make a beginner's mistake. You think there are rules and when you break them someone punish you somehow. And to avoid that you panic and think "I have to rewrite! I do not want to know how many good stories have been sacrificed on the altar of rewriting. I tell you a little secret: If you can't write which I do not want to claim , then no amount of rewriting will rescue you.
Because rewriting is a skill of its own. If you cannot handle the skill "writing", it's unlikely you've mastered the skill "rewriting". To sum up my little rant: Write!

Face your demons and publish. Do not get paralyzed by the fear on inexistent rules. It's your story. If you think it does not need a dialogue, it does not need a dialogue. I have written a flash fiction without any dialogue, so I don't see why it couldn't be possible in a short story. It could be more difficult, because dialogue permit to explain some things quickly and in a easy way, but introduce a dialog only for this is often worse than trying to not use it.
If you don't need a dialogue, don't write it. However, I can't really tell if it's commonplace or not, but I don't think you need to rewrite. Even if a short story without dialogue is rare, it's always interesting to see something unusual. Several posters here have said "there are no rules to writing" or similar statements. That's an overstatement.
The Multicultural Short Story and Intercultural Conversation
There certainly are rules to writing, from "pronouns should agree in number and gender with their antecedents" to "in academic papers, give proper credit to your sources" to "omit unnecessary words". But the valid point is: The rules exist to facilitate communication, not to hinder it. There are lots of rules about writing that you will hear that might be useful as guidelines or interesting ideas, but should not be taken too seriously. And for almost every rule, if your writing is more clear or more effective if you ignore the rule, then ignore the rule.
Caveat: If the rule is well-established and very commonly followed, then I'd say you should generally have a good reason to ignore the rule. Many writers think they are being innovative and edgy by ignoring basic rules just for the sake of ignoring them. You should rarely ignore a rule just as a gimmick. In this case, while it is common to have dialog in a story, there is no rule that you must.
If the story works better without dialog, there's no reason to cram dialog into it just to conform to some idea of what "most stories" look like. Most paragraphs include at least one comma, but if I wrote a paragraph in what seemed like the most clear and direct way and it didn't happen to include any commas, I wouldn't go back and reword it to include a comma just so it "looked more like most paragraphs". Look at the movie "Up" which has an entire love story without a single word being spoken. Someone wrote that.
There are no real rules to writing. Writing is about transferring your thoughts from your mind into the mind of another.

If you accomplish that, then you're a writer. If your thoughts require no dialog, then so be it. The slightly long answer: Yes, it is perfectly possible to write a story with absolutely no dialogue. I have written over 20 such stories that do not have any dialogues in them, so I am sure anyone can. There is no rule as such about inclusion of dialogues and not.
Depends on what you are writing and the writing style adapted. If you feel that the content is flowing beautifully without any trouble, go ahead and forget about the dialogues. AS you mention that it is going to be a novel, as and when the need arises, use them. If you feel dialogues are not necessary, skip them. I don't particularly think you need dialogue in a story to make it good.
Writing is an art, and the author is the artist. You are sitting on yours. Not even close. The suits shuffle their papers and shift their positions, preparing for battle. Throats are cleared, water glasses filled.
It is time. You lie back in your chair, steeple your fingers. I dig through my handbag instead: keys, lipstick, gum, purse, coins, receipts. Nothing offers relief. My thoughts are disjointed, past and present create a confusing tableau, memories of the way we used to be. I want it to stop, but the memories are relentless. I used to keep a list of the things I wanted to say you in my head.
Jimmy did this today, Alex said this for the first time. Snippets of our day I wanted to share with you.

I still have this list in my head, it is similar, but instead it is a list of the things I wish I said. Your suit pushes his chair back and we begin. I must pay attention now. We have come to the end of the negotiation and mediation process. It reminds me of the day we stepped into the reception hall and Allan introduced us.
