Minimum Fitra fixed at Tk 110 per person

This year the minimum Fitra has been fixed at Tk 110 per person, while the maximum is Tk 2,805.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the National Fitra Fixing Committee in the conference room of the Islamic Foundation at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque on Tuesday.

The rate of Fitra is fixed on the basis of market prices of flour, dates, cheese, raisins, and some other essentials.

Fitra is an obligatory charity distributed to the poor at the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Fitra is paid to the poor before the jamaat (congregation) of Eid-ul-Fitr.

Last year, the minimum amount of Fitra was fixed at Tk 115 and a maximum at Tk 2,970 per person.
