Why Australian Muslim families send these gifts
Most of the families we coordinate for from Australia fall into one of three groups. The first are families with a parent or relative travelling from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, or Adelaide 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 Aussie 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 Australia
- 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 Australia
You order from anywhere in Australia 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 Australia
We accept all major Aussie cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, PayPal, and Amazon Pay. Your card is charged in AUD, so you don't see foreign transaction fees from your bank. Checkout is processed through Shopify's secure system.
Common questions from Australian buyers
How long does the order take to process from Australia?
A few business days for most gifts. Sydney is about 7 hours ahead of Makkah, which means orders placed in the evening in Australia are usually picked up the next working day in Makkah.
Can I send a gift for a parent in Pakistan, Lebanon, Indonesia, or anywhere else from Australia?
Yes. You can order from Australia 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.
Are donations DGR (Deductible Gift Recipient) eligible?
No. We are not a DGR-registered Australian charity. We're a coordinated gifting service operated by Gifts For Haramain LLC. Read our Trust and Process page for the full explanation.
What about Hajj from Australia?
Aussie Hajj groups usually fly out in late Dhul-Qadah. Order 2-3 weeks before your family member arrives in Makkah so the gift can be coordinated in time. Earlier is better during Hajj peak.
