The Condition of Purity from Menstruation for the Fasting Woman

Question
Is purity a condition for fasting? And if the answer is no, why is a menstruating woman prohibited from fasting?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Purity is not a condition for fasting, but it is a condition for the eligibility to fast to be free from menstruation and postpartum bleeding; due to its stipulation in the hadiths, and God knows best.
