The answer

There is no harm in that, though performing supererogatory prayers at home is better, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Perform prayers in your homes, for the best prayer of a person is in his home, except for the obligatory prayer." Al-Nawawi explicitly stated the desirability of performing the regular supererogatory prayers at home, and this is the view of the majority, affirming that this opinion has no opposing view.
