Depending on the voltage, make sure to be safe, but I don't think that it is too bad, although it does depend on the circuit

Why should an ohmmeter never be used on an energized circuit?
Because an ohmmeter works by putting a potential difference (voltage) across a load and measuring the resulting current (the current will be inversely proportionate to the resistance). In a live circuit there is already current flowing through the load so (at best) the reading will be inaccurate, at worst the meter will be damaged.
