Minimum Fitra fixed at Tk 115 per person

This year, Fitra has set to a minimum of Tk 115 per individual and a maximum of Tk 2,970.

The National Fitra Fixing Committee met on Thursday and made the decision under the direction of its chairman, Baitul Mukarram National Mosque‍‍`s Khatib Hafez Maulana Mufti Mohammad Ruhul Amin. 

The market prices of flour, dates, cheese, raisins, and a few other necessities are used to determine the Fitra rate. 

Fitra is a required charitable donation made to the underprivileged upon the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan for the muslim devotees.

Prior to the Eid-ul-Fitr jamaat (congregation/prayer), fitra is distributed among the underprivileged.
