Answer 1

Ibn Fadlallah al-Umari was a scholar n writer from Syria

Step-by-step explanation:

Al-Umari's account of Mansa Musa's pilgrimage to Mecca was NOT a reliable source. The reason for this is due to the fact that he gave an account based on what he heard from other people in Cairo as he wasn't a first-hand witness. so people could have made stuff up or lied nothing was actually confirmed:)
