Yes, it's perfectly fine. As a matter of fact, using .toLowerCase() in conditional statements is preferable (to me) when comparing strings. For example:

var name = "Jassim";
if(name === "jassim"){
   console.log("won't work");
}

var name = "Jassim";
if(name.toLowerCase() === "jassim"){
    console.log("will work");
}

I know I stretched my answer, but I hope it helps.
