Answer:

Muslim Ibn Battuta was born in Tangier, Morocco, around 1304. He undertook the Muslim custom of the "hajj" in 1325, at the age of 21. He traveled to Mecca.

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).
