Why Canadian Muslim families send these gifts
Most of the families we coordinate for from Canada fall into one of three groups. The first are families with a parent or relative travelling from Toronto, Mississauga, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, or Vancouver for Hajj or Umrah, and they want to send a wheelchair, prayer mat, or water distribution gift to ease the journey for an elderly parent. The second are families honouring a parent who has passed away with Sadaqah Jariyah — a Mushaf placed inside Masjid al-Haram, an Umrah Badal performed in their name, or ongoing water distribution outside the Haram. The third are families giving during Ramadan and Eid-ul-Adha, when Iftar meals or Qurbani in Makkah carry special weight.
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "When a person dies, all his deeds end except three: a Sadaqah Jariyah, knowledge from which others benefit, and a righteous child who supplicates for him" (Sahih Muslim 1631, Abu Hurayrah). For many Canadian Muslim families, sending a gift on behalf of a parent at the Haramain is exactly this kind of continuing reward.
The gifts most often sent from Canada
- Wheelchair gift for an elderly parent on Hajj or Umrah, placed in the free wheelchair section near Masjid al-Haram
- Mushaf gift handed to a worshipper inside Masjid al-Haram, often on behalf of a deceased parent
- Water distribution to pilgrims outside the Haram in peak heat — popular year-round and during Hajj season
- Umrah Badal performed in Makkah on behalf of a parent unable to travel or who has passed away
- Qurbani in Makkah for Eid-ul-Adha, Aqeeqa, Dam, Fidyah, or Sadaqah
- Iftar meals for fasting worshippers in Ramadan
How it works from Canada
You order from anywhere in Canada at any time of day. Our team in Makkah and Madinah handles the rest. For most gifts the completion window is a few days to two weeks depending on category and season. Umrah Badal usually takes a few weeks. Qurbani during Eid happens on the assigned Eid days. We send written confirmation by email after each gift is distributed, and for Umrah Badal and Qurbani we share a short video or photo where it's practical.
Payment from Canada
We accept all major Canadian cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, PayPal, and Amazon Pay. Your card is charged in CAD, so you don't see foreign transaction fees from your bank. Checkout is processed through Shopify's secure system.
Common questions from Canadian buyers
How long does the order take to process from Canada?
A few business days for most gifts. The time zone difference between Toronto and Makkah is roughly 7-8 hours, which doesn't slow anything down since our team coordinates locally.
Can I send a gift for a parent in Pakistan, Bangladesh, or India from Canada?
Yes. You can order from Canada for a parent anywhere in the world. The gift is distributed at the Haramain, not shipped to the parent. Add their name in the order notes as the intention.
Is this CRA-registered for tax receipts?
No. We are not a CRA-registered charity. We're a coordinated gifting service operated by Gifts For Haramain LLC. Read our Trust and Process page for the full explanation.
