Bleeding after intercourse

Question:

Assalaamu alaykum. I had intercourse with my husband and then experienced bleeding for two hours. What is this bleeding called in Islam. If I get pregnant because of that intercourse, could that bleeding harm the expected baby?
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

This bleeding is considered Istihaadhah (vaginal bleeding outside the menstrual period). It is not considered menstrual bleeding because the shortest length of the menstrual bleeding is a day and a night according to the majority of scholars. Hopefully, your baby will not be harmed if you got pregnant; you should consult with specialized doctors in this regard.

Allaah knows best.
