AL-KAFI #1322 : KELUAR SETITIK DARAH SELEPAS PERSETUBUHAN: ADAKAH DIKIRA HAID?
Is a drop of blood appearing after intercourse, when a woman has already bathed and resumed fasting believing her menses had ended, considered menstrual blood?
Short answer
Blood coming from the womb within 15 days of the start of menstruation is counted as menstruation even if it is only a drop or two, regardless of whether it is weak or strong in character.

Summary
Blood coming from the womb within 15 days of the start of menstruation is counted as menstruation even if it is only a drop or two, regardless of whether it is weak or strong in character. If the blood is from the womb, the fasts on those days are invalid and must be made up according to the preferred opinion, and intercourse done unknowingly in the belief that menstruation had stopped is not sinful and requires no kaffarah. If the blood comes from a wound caused by intercourse or a torn hymen, it is fasid blood and not menses, so it only needs to be cleaned before prayer, a ritual bath is not required, and the fast remains valid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu darah yang keluar kali kedua selepas berhenti sekalipun setitik dua, selagi mana ia keluar dalam tempoh 15 hari, maka dianggap sebagai haid, tanpa mengira sifat darahnya lemah atau kuat.
