The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

Why does a shia person while saying his prayers do sajda on a mor (khakh e shafa or turbat)

Answer

The practice of the shias of making sajdah on a turbat is based on their reverence of the land of Karbala where Hadhrat Husain (Radhiyallahu unhu) was martyred. Their practice is erroneous and unfounded in the Shariah.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
