Answer:

Ibn Battuta was a Muslim from Tangier, Morocco, born in 1304. In 1325, when he was 21 years old, he made a pilgrimage to Mecca, as part of the Muslim tradition of "hajj."

Step-by-step explanation:

The "hajj," which means a pilgrimage to Mecca, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, meaning the necessary actions for Muslims to follow the Islamic tradition.

The other pillars are reciting the Muslim profession of faith (Shahadah), praying five times every day (Salat), an alms tax (Zakat), and fasting during Ramadan (Sawm).
