Fifteen years of age or older, unless he reaches puberty before that by the growth of coarse hair around the private parts, or by the emission of semen due to desire. If he reaches puberty at the age of twelve, thirteen, eleven, or ten, there is no harm. Otherwise, the age is fifteen. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
