Abstract :

Puberty is a natural phenomenon that comes to the fore with the development of sexual talent and reproductive power, but in the interpretation of puberty by looking at various traditions and examples and signs of puberty, different and distinct opinions have been issued, which has led to the explanation of this stage of puberty. sexual ability, several ages to determine the maturity of girls and boys should be introduced; And the result is that the Imami jurists act differently in following the hadiths of the Shia imams (pbuh) and the Sunni jurists in dealing with the Sunnah and the policy of the heads of their religions. The current research aims to review the opinions and jurisprudential arguments of Islamic schools on the issue of puberty, while emphasizing the target audience of the traditions of this field, and aims to clarify the criteria and unity of the basis in the issue. The achievement of this research shows that in the field of understanding the traditions of maturity, what has not been paid much attention is audience analysis at the time of the issuance of traditions and traditions. What is more, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and the infallible imams (PBUH) have always expressed rulings specific to a specific event based on the diverse characteristics of the audience and according to the influence of their specific requirements and the questioners of rulings, which, as a result, is not general. In other words, he spoke according to the capacity of the people, the previous knowledge of the audience and his needs. Therefore, paying attention to the category of audience analysis in puberty narratives shows that determining a certain age for the maturity of individuals in all times and places is not connected with its truth.
