The wisdom behind a woman not making up missed prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the reason for Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the Mother of the Believers, saying: “Why does a woman make up missed fasts but not missed prayers?”

Answer:
Yes, because the prayer is repeated five times a day and night. If she were ordered to make it up, that would be burdensome for her. This is unlike fasting, which is not repeated more than once a month in the year. Therefore, making up a fast is lighter than making up a prayer. Yes.
