The 14th Zakat Fair 2026 will begin on Saturday, January 31, at the Officers’ Club on Bailey Road in Dhaka. Organized under the theme “Zakat for Establishing Justice,” the fair will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Interim government religious adviser Dr. A. F. M. Khalid Hossain will inaugurate the event, which will feature three sessions.

At a press conference held at the Dhaka Reporters Unity, fair organizing committee convener Dr. Mohammad Abdul Mazid said there is potential to collect one trillion taka in zakat across the country. He emphasized that proper zakat collection could help build a just, poverty-free society and empower recipients to become future donors.

Center for Zakat Management (CZM) CEO Dr. Mohammad Ayub Mia stated that the organization aims to collect 900 million taka in zakat this year. CZM has provided scholarships to 17,500 first-year university and medical students and operates over 60 primary healthcare centers nationwide offering regular medical services and medicine supplies.
