Is an apostate required to make up for missed fasting days in Ramadan after re-embracing Islam?

Scholars have differed on whether an apostate must make up for missed fasts and acts of worship after returning to Islam. The Shafi'is and Hanbalis made it obligatory, while the Malikis and Hanafis did not. The Shafi'is and Hanbalis argued that the apostate believed in their obligation and was capable of performing them, and because he committed to these obligations through Islam. The view that making up for them is necessary is preferred because it is more cautious, absolves one's responsibility, and resolves the scholarly disagreement.
