Summary
A woman who becomes pure from menstruation in the middle of a Ramadan day is not obliged to observe imsak, meaning refraining from eating, drinking and other things that break the fast. The reason given is that no negligence on her part is involved, unlike other cases where imsak is obligatory. However, imsak is recommended for her in order to honour the sanctity of Ramadan. This is the Shafii position, and the fasts missed due to menstruation must still be made up.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
