The Age of Puberty for a Child

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does a boy reach puberty when he enters his fifteenth year, or when he completes his fifteenth year and enters his sixteenth?

Answer:
He reaches puberty upon completing his fifteenth year. Before he completes his fifteenth year, he does not reach puberty by age, unless he grows a beard or has a wet dream, even if that is before the age of fifteen. If he has not had a wet dream and has not grown a beard, then the final limit is the age of fifteen. Yes.
