✅ Answer:

عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنِ الرِّضَا فِي كِتَابِهِ إِلَى الْمَأْمُونِ وَ الْحَائِضُ تَتْرُكُ الصَّلَاةَ وَ لَا تَقْضِي وَ تَتْرُكُ الصَّوْمَ وَ تَقْضِي.

Imam Reza (peace be upon him) wrote in his letter to Mamun: A menstruating woman (during her menstrual period) leaves the prayer and does not make it up, and she also leaves fasting but makes it up later.

In many narrations, it has been stated in general that a menstruating woman does not make up her prayer, and the apparent meaning applies to all prayers. There is no specific narration regarding making up Salat al-Ayat, so a menstruating woman does not need to make up Salat al-Ayat after she becomes pure.
