The minimum Fitra this year has been fixed at Tk 115 per person while the maximum is Tk 2,640.

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

The decision was taken at a meeting of the National Fitra Fixing Committee on Sunday.

The committee’s head and Baitul Mukarram National Mosque’s Khatib Hafez Maulana Mufti Mohammad Ruhul Amin chaired the meeting.

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

Fitra is paid to the poor before the Eid-ul-Fitr congregation.
