Is it prescribed to respond with "Bala" (Yes) upon hearing the end of Surat al-Tin and the end of Surat al-Qiyamah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says that at the end of Surat al-Tin, Allah the Exalted and Sublime says:
Is not Allah the most just of judges? أليس الله بأحكم الحاكمين
[At-Tin 95:8]
And at the end of Surat al-Qiyamah:
Is He not able to give life to the dead? أليس ذلك بقادر على أن يحي الموتى
. Is it permissible to respond with "Bala" during the prayer, or not?

The Shaykh : Yes.
Is not Allah the most just of judges? أليس الله بأحكم الحاكمين
[At-Tin 95:8]
. What is the answer? Bala. Say it like that, even if you are in prayer.
Is He not able to give life to the dead? أليس ذلك بقادر على أن يحيى الموتى
Bala. Say "Bala" while you are praying. We took this answer from the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. أوليس الذي خلق السماوات والأرض بقادر على أن يخلق مثلهم بلى وهو الخلاق العليم
[Ya-Sin 36:81]
. And from His saying the Exalted:
Do they not see that Allah, who created the heavens and earth and did not fail in their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yes. Indeed, He is over all things competent. أولم يروا أن الله الذي خلق السماوات والأرض ولم يعي بخلقهن بقادر على أن يحي الموتى بلى إنه على كل شيء
[Al-Ahqaf 46:33]
What?
Indeed He is able to do all things. إنه على كل شيء قدير
. Good. The important thing is that when this verse and its like pass by you, say: Bala.
Is not Allah sufficient for His Servant أليس الله بكاف عبده
[Az-Zumar 39:36]
? Bala.
Is not Allah Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution? أليس الله بعزيز ذي انتقام
[Az-Zumar 39:37]
? Bala. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
