Is it permissible to recite "Malik yawm al-din" in Surat al-Fatihah during the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: O Shaykh, regarding... Ibn al-Qayyim's recitation of al-Fatihah based on, al-Fatihah based on
Malik of the Day of Judgment ملك يوم الدين
instead of
Sovereign of the Day of Recompense. مالك يوم الدين
[Al-Fatihah 1:4]
, in the Shami style, meaning in the recitation, or...?

The Shaykh: No, it has no relation to the Shami dialect; this is a Muhammadan Sunnah. I mentioned in "The Description of Prayer" that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would sometimes recite
Owner مالك
and sometimes
Malik ملك
, and both readings are mutawatir, established with certainty from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). So, to revive this recitation, I say in some prayers, or in some rak'ahs of a prayer,
Malik of the Day of Judgment ملك يوم الدين
to teach the people.
