The obligation of the minor when he reaches puberty
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it obligatory to recite the four [books] upon the sane person who has not yet reached the age of majority, the ignorant one?
Answer:
When he reaches puberty, it becomes obligatory upon him, even if he is under five. When he reaches puberty, even if he is under ten, the religious obligations become obligatory upon him. The matter is contingent upon reaching puberty, and puberty is recorded. Some reach puberty at ten, some at twelve, and some reach it up to the limit of fifteen; that is the upper limit. Yes.
