Nope, it's not ok.
That would be overloading the wiring for the ignition switch, creating a potential fire hazard.
The right way to do it is to fix the fan circuit.

Re: Fan wire to IGN in fuse panel?
Electric fans can draw 15-20 amps, that's too much for direct power from the ignition switch. You could run a wire from there to a relay under the hood. Put a 3A fuse in the wire near the fuse box end.
