If a menstruating woman becomes pure before Fajr, she must pray Maghrib and Isha. This is the view of the majority of scholars, just as she would pray Dhuhr and Asr if she became pure before sunset. This has been narrated from a number of companions, tabi'in, and imams. Whereas some, like Al-Hasan and Al-Thawri, are of the view that she only prays the prayer for which she became pure during its time. The Malikis detail this: if she becomes pure before Fajr with enough time for ghusl and to pray four rak'ahs, then Maghrib and Isha become obligatory upon her. If the time is less, she only prays Isha.
