The answer

Any blood found that is not considered menstruation by the majority of scholars necessitates making up the Asr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers. The intercourse that occurred before the discovery of menstruation is not sinful, because the event is attributed to its nearest time. Menstruation is not considered to exist legally إلا by the emission of blood, or yellowish or brownish discharge during the usual menstrual period, and not merely by the sensation of pain.
