While this can be done safely, I recommend lowering with a munter off of the anchor, with an autoblock backup on your harness. It's the bee's knees when lowering a climber on a top side managed top rope setup. When the climber gets to the bottom, throw the grigri on.
Have you ever tried lowering someone repeatedly from a munter? Lowering from a munter really twists up the rope. With a top rope setup where you need to lower the climber down so he can climb back up, a Grigri with a redirect is safe, quick and effective.
Edited for typo. Bad spellers of the world, untie.
