Its not harmful to dogs or people, you should try it.
Your post is vague so giving you the benefit of the doubt I am assuming you have proper bedding for your dog but they often choose lie on the granite flooring as opposed to you only allowing to sleep on the bare flooring.
Is it old dog or a puppy, has it any existing health condition, tight coated dogs like greyhounds can have issues. Its all relative.
Its difficult to second guess what you are getting at.

My GSD is a 10months old male. I had given him proper bedding, even then he likes to lie on bare granite floor only. The granite floor will became cold at night. So what I want to know is that, will lying on cold floor causes any health problems like arthritis..???

The bitch in my avatar considered it her job to guard the front door. Winter, summer, that was her preferred resting place. We moved several times during the years I had her, so sometimes her resting place was wood, sometimes stone, sometimes tile. Sometimes she had a front door rug to lie on, sometimes not, as the door was too close to the floor to allow for one. She could have slept on the rug beside my bed, and sometimes did, but the front hall by the door was her preferred spot.
When she got old and feeble, my friends thought I was being cruel to let her do that, so I bought her a bed and put it in a spot where she was close to the door, but out of the traffic path through the room.
She refused to use it.
I closed the kitchen door so she couldn't sleep in her favourite spot.
She went and slept on the cold, hard tile floor in the bathroom instead.
I gave up.
She lived to age 14 1/2, and never suffered any problems related to her sleeping place, though an old injury she suffered chasing deer through the woods caused her to limp a bit in her old age.
