Question

My question is I was praying Isha Salah behind Imam and in 2nd rakat Imam went into Sajda. I went into ruku and then went into Sajdah immediately. Imam finished the prayer normally. Was I supposed to do Sajdah Sahu for this ?

Answer

Could you please elaborate your question; did you go from ruku to sujood without standing up?

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
