Summary
Making up missed fasts during Ramadan is prohibited, and the fast performed is not valid. The month of Ramadan is reserved solely for the Ramadan fast, so other fasts such as makeup, vowed, expiation or voluntary fasts are not accepted in it. This applies whether a person is resident or travelling, and makeup fasts must be performed on other days outside Ramadan.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, mengerjakan puasa ganti pada bulan Ramadan adalah haram hukumnya malah ibadah puasa yang dikerjakan adalah tidak sah.
