The Obligation of Fasting for Menstruating Women

Question
What is the ruling on the days that a woman breaks her fast during Ramadan due to menstruation?
Answer

I say, and with God's help: She is required to make up for all the days she missed due to menstruation, based on the fact that menstruation prevents the obligation of prayer and its valid performance, but it does not prevent the obligation of fasting. The obligation itself is established, but it does prevent the valid performance of fasting, so she must make up for it once she is purified. And God knows best.
