Signs of Puberty and the Obligation of Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a young man reaches the age of fifteen but has not reached puberty, is the prayer obligatory upon him?

Answer:
If he reaches fifteen years of age, this is the last of the signs of puberty, and the prayer becomes obligatory upon him. This is because a young man reaches puberty either through wet dreams, or through the growth of coarse hair around the private parts, or by completing fifteen years of age. A girl has a fourth sign added, which is menstruation. Yes.
