Fitra, a charity donation by well-off Muslims at the end of Ramadan, has been fixed at a minimum of Tk 70 per person for this year.

The Islamic Foundation has decided on the donation rates at a meeting held at its Baitul Mukarram conference room on Thursday (May 16), said Baitul Mukarram Imam Mohammad Mizanur Rahman.

The maximum rate of Fitra has been set at Tk 1,980, taking into account the market price of wheat or flour and other essentials.

The amount of the money, or equivalent food items, is distributed among the poor during Sadkatul Fitr or Fitra before the Eid-ul-Fitr congregation.
