    I would say it’s not advisable.

    The properties – top, right, bottom, left – exist to position such styled elements accordingly. Using margin, although may work, would not be the correct positioning property and could lead to undefined behavior.

    With that said, there are obviously more than one way to do things in CSS. So in the end, it’s up to you.
