Determining the Truthfulness of a Boy’s Claim of Reaching Puberty

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a boy claims that he has reached puberty, how do we know whether he is telling the truth or lying?

Answer:
He is examined. If he claims to have developed pubic hair, he is examined, just as the people of Banu Quraizah were examined. If it is found that he has developed pubic hair, then he has reached puberty. As for ejaculation, we do not know about that, but his statement is accepted in that matter, because that is known only from his side.

Question:
And Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Previously.

Answer:
It is calculated from the time of his birth, his date of birth. Yes.
