The answer

If you had intercourse with your wife, thinking she was pure, and then blood appeared, there is no sin upon you. However, if intercourse occurred after the cessation of menstruation but before performing ghusl, then you must seek Allah's forgiveness, as intercourse is not permissible except after performing ghusl following purification.
