Abstract:

Sharia judgments are assigned to an individual when his mental and physical abilities are complete, as Islamic jurisprudence related the completion of these two capabilities to an obvious and disciplined description known as puberty. Islamic jurists examined puberty based on their observations and medical facts at the time, but contemporary medical technology has made it feasible to study this topic more precisely and has explained many previously unknown elements. This study tries to offer jurists' sayings about puberty signs, compare them to what relevant medical technology has discovered, and arrive at the most right view about these signs. This study employed the comparative analytical inductive technique. The study consisted of four topics: the first on the meaning of puberty and its jurisprudential implications, the second on jurist doctrines in the signs of puberty, the third on modern medical knowledge in the issue of puberty, and the fourth on a comparison of jurist sayings and modern medical research, and the most correct saying in the signs of puberty.
