Yes, lye soap is safe to use in fact that is what I use every day. When I was a child, my father used to make lye soap which we all used regularly. Except that it didn't have perfume, it was no different from 'store bought' soap. In previous centuries, many people made and used lye soap.

Normally you don't make lye, you usually purchase it. It depends on your use of Sodium Hydroxide (lye) but one of the ways that lye can be made is by taking ashes from a fire and dripping water of it. The liquid resulting is lye. When most people think of Grandma's soap they think of the harsh feel and smell of it, it is because she probably made her lye this way. The way most in home soap makers get lye is in dry pearl format from a chemical company.
