Question:
She says: My sister's son is fourteen years old. Is he considered a mahram (a relative one may not marry) for me to travel to Makkah?

Answer:
Regarding the discussion on puberty: if he has reached puberty by having a wet dream, meaning semen and desire have been discharged, then he has reached puberty. Likewise, if he has grown the second sign, which is growing coarse hair around the private parts, or if his beard has grown, or if his mustache has appeared, then he has reached puberty. The growth of hair is the third and final sign: if he reaches the age of fifteen, yes.
