Dryer: Is it right to use fabric softener during the washing machine cycle?

If the wash cycle is followed by a tumble dry, you should absolutely not use fabric softener.

The dryer itself will take care of making your clothes soft.

Fabric softener creates a kind of film on the garments that can interfere with the dryer's sensors.

There are, however, scented sheets available on the market that are specifically designed for use in tumble dryers.
