The minimum level of Fitra, a charitable donation by well-off Muslims at the end of Ramadan, has been raised by Tk 5 to Tk 75 per person in 2022, while the maximum rate has stayed unchanged at Tk 2,310. The National Committee on Fitra set the donation rate at a virtual meeting on Saturday. Fitra, also known as Zakat al-fitr or fitrana, is a form of compulsory charity that Muslims pay at the end of Ramadan. According to Islamic tradition, Fitra was set by the committee based on the prices of a basket of items, including wheat and flour. The minimum and maximum levels of Fitra are set by taking the price of these goods across the country into consideration.
