Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
Yes, it is the same. The major menstruator who is required to perform the washing can fast if she performs her obligatory washes for prayer. It is also strongly recommended that she performs the washing for the two evening prayers the night before the day she intends to fast.

Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect him):
Yes, it is the same, noting that the validity of the fast for the major menstruator does not depend on performing what is required of her in terms of washing.
