The boys attaining the age of puberty and their witness

وَقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {وَإِذَا بَلَغَ الأَطْفَالُ مِنْكُمُ الْحُلُمَ فَلْيَسْتَأْذِنُوا}. وَقَالَ مُغِيرَةُ احْتَلَمْتُ وَأَنَا ابْنُ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. وَبُلُوغُ النِّسَاءِ فِي الْحَيْضِ لِقَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَاللاَّئِي يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِنْ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ} وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ أَدْرَكْتُ جَارَةً لَنَا جَدَّةً بِنْتَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.And the Statement of Allah تعالى: "And when the children among you come to puberty, then let them (also) ask for permission." (V.24:59) Al-Mughira said, "I attained puberty at the age of twelve." The attaining of puberty by women is with the start of menses, as is referred to by the Statement of Allah عز وجل: "And those of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, (up to) until they deliver (their burdens)..." (V.65:4) Al-Hasan bin Salih said, "I saw a neighbourness of mine who became a grandmother at the age of twenty-one."
