The answer

Reciting "Maliki" with a tanwin (māliki instead of māliki) is a subtle error (laḥn khafī) that does not alter the meaning or invalidate the prayer. However, substituting one letter for another in Al-Fatihah is a grave error (laḥn jalī), and it is not permissible to pray behind someone who does so, although some scholars have been lenient regarding letters with close points of articulation that are difficult for the common person to avoid.
