What evidence is there that says a woman must make up fasts she has missed due to her period? Isn't it similar to salaah where she is not required to make up for any namaaz she has missed?

Answer
1. Moaadhe Al- Adawiyya narrates that she inquired from Ayesha ( radiyallahu-anha ) the reason a female in menses makes qadha (make-up) for her missed fast but does not do so with missed salaah during menses. Ayesha ( radiyallahu-anha ) replied that we were ordered to make qadha for the missed fast during menses and we were not ordered to do so for missed sallah(Mishkat -vol. 1 p.178-Thanvi)
2. Ayesha (radiyallahu-anha) states that she used to have missed fasts on her and she could only fulfill them in Shabaan. (Ibid)
