Is it permissible to respond to the Qur'an, such as saying "Bala" (Yes) when reciting: "Has there reached you the news of the Overwhelming?"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to respond to the Qur'an, such as when Allah the Exalted says:
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ
[Al-Ghashiyah 88:1]
, and I say "Bala" (Yes), and so on with the other verses?

Answer:
There is no harm in it; affirming this is affirming the Qur'an. However, making this a constant practice requires evidence. As for doing it occasionally, there is no harm in it.
