Long Hajj Waiting Times—Don’t Delay

According to detik.com, Hajj waiting times in Indonesia range from 11 to 47 years, depending on the region. For example, in South Kalimantan, the waiting time can stretch up to 38 years. By starting early, you give your child the chance to embark on this spiritual journey at a younger, healthier age.

The Importance of Early Hajj Preparation for Your Child

Strengthening Their Spiritual Foundation
Hajj is more than a spiritual pilgrimage; it’s a journey that instills profound Islamic values. Performing Hajj at a younger age provides your child with a moral and spiritual foundation that will guide them throughout life.
Reducing Financial Strain
Saving for Hajj gradually over time makes the financial burden much lighter. By starting early, you can accumulate funds without disrupting your household budget.
Securing an Early Registration Slot
Children can be registered for Hajj from an early age. By starting now, you ensure they’ll secure their Hajj slot at the right time.
