Does the ma'mum say "Yes" when the imam recites "Is not He able to give life to the dead?" and likewise in Surat al-Tin?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks, saying: May Allah reward you. If the imam recites in the prayer the words of Allah the Exalted
Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَىٰ
[Al-Qiyamah 75:40]
or the words of Allah the Exalted
Is not Allah the most just of judges?أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ
[At-Tin 95:8]
, and the ma'mum says "Yes," is that permissible, or is it speech in the prayer that is not permissible? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
As for Surat al-Qiyamah
Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَىٰ
[Al-Qiyamah 75:40]
? This has been reported. The authentic hadith states that he says, "Glory be to You, O Allah, yes." As for Surat al-Tin, this has not been reported. It is not permissible to say it, and both have been reported. Yes.
