Can I safely clone an encrypted drive with dd without harming the data

I have a windows hard drive encrypted, using veracrypt, with AES HMAC-SHA-512, but from which the password was lost. Can I safely make a copy of this information bit by bit using something like dd? If not, are there any tools I can use that will make a copy without harming the data, or the ability to decrypt the information once copied? That is, will the data that is copied be usable?

Encrypted data is still just data. It can be read and written and is not "live" or self-destructing in any way, and the disk itself doesn't even know the difference between encrypted and not.

Because you know the software used, ability to decrypt depends entirely on whether you have the key or not. VeraCrypt only uses your provided passphrase as the key – it does not use any of the drive's "physical" information (such as serial numbers) for this purpose, so the data will remain decryptable even if it's copied elsewhere.
