Not his is not possible, iOS 5.1.1 supports device with ARM v6 processor. Which is no longer supported by Xcode. You will therefor need an older copy of Xcode, with the iOS 5.1.1 SDK.

The bige problem is that you will then not be able to submit your app to the Appstore since this requires you to build with the iOS 9 SDK.

You might be able to remove the ARM v6 slice from the binary you compiled with the older version of Xcode and add that slice to you new binary, but you will run into many more issues.

The cheapest is to buy this client an new iPad.
