Must a woman make up the Zuhr prayer if her period begins during the Asr time?
Short answer
A woman is required to make up Zuhr only when her period ends during the Asr time and she still has time for at least the opening takbir, and likewise Maghrib for the Isha time.

Summary
A woman is required to make up Zuhr only when her period ends during the Asr time and she still has time for at least the opening takbir, and likewise Maghrib for the Isha time. A woman whose period begins during Asr after already praying Zuhr only needs to pray Asr, or make it up if she missed it, and does not make up Zuhr. If she prayed both Zuhr and Asr before the period began, nothing needs to be made up. This follows the Shafii view that the later prayer time is a time of excuse for the earlier prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sebenarnya, wajib bagi wanita yang berhenti haidnya pada waktu Asar atau Isyak untuk menunaikan solat fardhu tersebut serta mengqadhakan solat fardhu yang sebelumnya yakni solat Zuhur atau Maghrib, jika mereka sempat berada dalam waktu kedua itu sekadar takbiratul ihram, bukannya bagi wanita yang baru datang haid.
