فَإِنْ قَدَّمَ الْإِحْرَامَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَوَاقِيتِ جَازَ
Translation: If someone enters iḥrām before reaching these stations, it is permissible.
The text expressly allows entering iḥrām before a station. This is distinct from crossing the station without iḥrām.
Starting earlier also extends the period during which the pilgrim must observe iḥrām restrictions. Legal permissibility does not by itself make the earliest possible entry the best practical choice for everyone.
