Intercourse by One Who Thought She Had Cleansed from Postpartum Bleeding

Question
I thought I had cleansed from postpartum bleeding because the blood stopped, so I had intercourse with my husband, then the blood returned again. What is the ruling here? Is a expiation required?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: There is no sin upon you and no expiation; because you thought it was the noon prayer. You should be cautious in the future, and God knows best.
