Abstract We present the interior solutions of distributions of magnetized fluid inside a sphere in $f(R,T)$ gravity. The magnetized sphere is embedded in an exterior Reissner–Nordström metric. We assume that all physical quantities are in static equilibrium. The perfect fluid matter is studied under a particular form of the Lagrangian density $f(R,T)$. The magnetic field profile in modified gravity is calculated. Observational data of neutron stars are used to plot suitable models of magnetized compact objects. We reveal the effect of $f(R,T)$ gravity on the magnetic field profile, with application to neutron stars, especially highly magnetized neutron stars found in x-ray pulsar systems. Finally, the effective potential $V_{\rm eff}$ and innermost stable circular orbits, arising out of the motion of a test particle of negligible mass influenced by attraction or repulsion from the massive center, are discussed.
