It isn't really bad, but it does reduce how effective they are. The soap will wash away most of the softener. It is much more effective when it is added during the rinse cycle, as intended.

Is it OK to switch off your washing machine in the middle of its cycle?

Yes, it's fine. Switching off the washing machine in the middle of its cycle is OK. Restarting the cycle would depend on the function (rinse, wash, spin, etc.) and how early into the cycle you switched it off. If you stop the wash or spin cycle to add more clothes or rearrange because of unbalance of the load, it may be wise to start the cycle again. Check that the machine has drained before opening the door.
