ثماني عشرة سنة
Translation: Eighteen years.
According to Abu Hanifah’s position as reported here, a boy without established qualifying signs is considered pubescent upon completing 18 years.
This is a fallback criterion. A prior qualifying emission establishes puberty without waiting for that age.
Some commentaries report the wording “entering the nineteenth year,” which one explanation interprets as completion of 18 years.
