The minimum and maximum amount for Fitra for the Eid-ul-Fitr this year has been set on Sunday.
The minimum Fitra was set at Tk115 per head, and the maximum at Tk2,640.
The National Committee on Fitra set the rate at a meeting presided over by President Hafez Mufti Mohammad Ruhul Amin, the Khatib of the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque.
The Fitra or Zakat-al-Fitr is a compulsory charity to be paid for by Muslims at the end of Ramadan.
As per Islamic ruling, the Fitra has been set based on the market prices of wheat, flour, barley raisin, dates, and cheese.
Muslims can give the Sadaqat ul Fitr from any of the above products based on their market value according to their ability, as local retail market prices of the above products may vary.
