خمس عشرة سنة
Translation: Fifteen years.
Abu Yusuf and Muhammad hold that, absent qualifying signs, both a boy and a girl complete puberty upon completing 15 years.
This differs from Abu Hanifah’s stated 18- and 17-year thresholds. The views should not be merged or attributed to the wrong imams.
It is the completion of 15 years, not merely entering the fifteenth year, that matters here.
