Sir,

Can you, please, let me know the correct position regarding the following situation?

I was praying behind in a congregational prayer. During the prayer I made some incorrect action. Should have I done a sajdah of mistake, too.

Answer:

May Allah accept and reward you for your prayer! Amen!

May Allah increase your knowledge of Deen.

If you had done some normal type of mistake in the congregation you had no need to do any Sajdah, because you were following the Imam. However, there are certain incorrect actions which invalidate the salat itself. Until I know the nature of the incorrect action, I am not in a position to advise you on it. Allah knows best.

Wassalam
